Jonetta Wakely , LPC

Jonetta Wakely approaches counseling from a collaborative, respectful stance, meeting people where they are and inviting them to share what matters most in their lives. She views each person as the expert on their own experiences and works with them to identify practical steps toward a more satisfying life. She emphasizes that most people are doing the best they can at a given moment and focuses on choices that increase wellbeing rather than labeling behaviors as simply good or bad.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC, Jonetta draws on extensive training in evidence-based approaches to support change. She has completed 160 hours of advanced training with the Beck Institute in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT, an approach that helps people notice and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She is also certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy - C-DBT, a skills-based method that assists clients in making effective decisions and managing intense emotions.

Her practice centers on collaborative problem solving and helping clients select the strategies that best fit their goals. Jonetta aims to create clear, workable plans so individuals and families can move toward a life they find meaningful and sustainable.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jonetta uses several evidence-based approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or mood problems and teaches practical skills to replace those patterns with healthier alternatives. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT emphasizes skill-building for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and making choices that align with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns influence feelings of safety and connection, and it helps people develop more secure and supportive ways of relating to others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jonetta works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then recommends strategies that fit the person’s situation. She tailors treatment plans and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for busy lives. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges or ongoing support can be handled via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend appointments from different locations, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday routines.
