Jonetta Wakely, LPC

Jonetta Wakely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures, and career-related strain. She also addresses trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and a range of related issues such as attachment and codependency.

Jonetta asks clients to explain what matters to them and how they want to work. She avoids assigning blame and instead focuses on practical choices that lead to more effective behavior. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention paid to what a person is already doing that works and what could be changed.

Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with attachment-based ideas and mindfulness. She uses these approaches to help people notice patterns, practice different responses, and build skills for managing strong feelings. Existential and narrative ideas sometimes inform conversations about meaning and life direction.

Jonetta describes therapy as a collaborative effort. She listens for what the client values and helps translate that into manageable steps. That includes concrete skill practice for handling anger, techniques for reducing anxiety, and strategies for improving communication.

She works with adults across a wide range of life stages and challenges. Sessions and plans reflect the practical realities of daily life, aiming for changes that fit the client’s routine and responsibilities.
