About Jonetta

Jonetta Wakely, LPC, helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and problems in relationships. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, anger, self-esteem concerns, and career-related stress. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at finding better choices that create a more manageable life.

Jonetta listens first and asks clients to explain what matters to them. She avoids moral judgments and focuses on helpful next steps. Sessions look at patterns that keep problems repeating and build better ways of coping.

With two decades of experience as a licensed professional counselor, she draws on several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are part of her toolkit, along with attachment-focused work, mindfulness, and narrative approaches. She uses these methods to address issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation, and codependency.

Her work also covers caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, communication and control problems, and the effects of separation or divorce. Jonetta pays attention to how life events and losses shape choices and emotions. She aims to help people find clearer thinking and steadier behavior.

People who choose her therapy can expect an open, collaborative process. Jonetta helps clients set goals and try practical skills between sessions. She frames progress as steady steps rather than instant fixes.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and trust. Online sessions can help people notice attachment patterns and try different ways of relating in real life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions, CBT is often used to teach practical skills and homework exercises to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer decision-making. It tends to be skill-focused and can fit well into an online plan when someone needs concrete coping strategies.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking how they fit, and adjusting the plan together rather than settling on a single method up front.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during a work break or between appointments. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when video is difficult. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, attention, and the kinds of skills you want to practice.
