About Jonetta
Jonetta Wakely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, and mood concerns. She speaks plainly and listens first, asking clients what matters most to them and how they want to move forward. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at finding clearer choices rather than assigning blame.
Jonetta centers conversations on the client’s experience. She assumes people are doing the best they can and looks for practical steps that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on making decisions that help a person build a life they find meaningful and manageable. She avoids labeling actions as simply right or wrong and instead discusses what works better going forward. Her clinical work draws from Narrative approaches alongside therapies that address thinking patterns and emotional regulation.
That mix helps people reframe painful stories, test new behaviors, and manage overwhelming feelings. Jonetta uses concrete tools and skill practice so clients leave sessions with usable strategies. Across twenty years in practice she has supported people coping with grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, career stress, and the fallout from separation or other losses.
She also works with concerns such as attachment wounds, codependency, caregiver stress, dissociation, and reactions to disaster. Based in Oklahoma, Jonetta offers sessions in English and sees people from other regions as well. Her approach aims to be collaborative and grounded, helping people set realistic goals and try small, steady changes that add up over time.

Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jonetta blends Narrative Therapy with approaches that focus on thinking patterns and emotional regulation. Narrative Therapy helps people tell a different story about their difficulties, separate the problem from the person, and identify strengths that have been overlooked. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses small experiments and skill practice to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and building skills for more effective decision making.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. From that conversation she and the client decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers options that fit different needs. Video calls bring a face-to-face feel for deeper conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, follow-up between sessions, and flexible scheduling during busy days. These formats make it easier to keep therapy going from different places and routines while working toward the client’s goals.
