About Jonetta
Jonetta Wakely is a licensed professional counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship and parenting challenges. She uses straightforward, practical language in sessions so parents can talk about what’s happening at home without feeling judged. Jonetta asks clients to explain what matters to them and then works alongside them to find clearer, more effective choices.
She emphasizes real actions that can improve day-to-day life rather than debating who was right or wrong.
Background and approach
Jonetta draws on two decades of counseling experience and training to shape each plan. She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.
Her approach pays attention to attachment and the stories people tell about themselves. That helps when sorting through relationship patterns, abandonment issues, or communication problems. She blends mindfulness and existential ideas to encourage clearer values and present-moment awareness.
Jonetta holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC - and practices in Oklahoma. Her work often focuses on practical skill-building, problem solving, and helping people make decisions that fit their lives. She often recommends simple, trackable steps clients can try between sessions.
Sessions are offered using a range of online formats. She welcomes conversations about goals and tailors methods to each person’s needs and preferences.
How Jonetta’s Approaches Work Online
Jonetta uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks issues into thoughts, feelings, and actions so small steps can lead to noticeable changes. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy to teach practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that help in heated moments and ongoing stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with clients about problems, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. That collaborative process lets the therapist adjust methods over time based on what actually helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines and to use brief check-ins when needed. The variety of formats supports different needs - longer discussions by video, quick problem-solving by chat, or steady support through text.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
