About Jonetta
Jonetta Wakely, LPC, helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. She writes plainly with clear goals in mind and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Her approach aims to make nervous days more manageable and to help people choose behaviors that move them toward a life they value.
Wakely meets each person where they are and asks what matters most to them.
Background and approach
She avoids labels of good or bad and instead looks for more effective choices in day-to-day life. Sessions tend to be direct and collaborative, with attention to what a person already knows about themselves. Her background includes two decades of counseling experience and a Licensed Professional Counselor credential.
She draws on approaches that target thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and attachment dynamics to address problems like depression, anger, career stress, and issues tied to trauma and abuse. In sessions she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral work and skills-based techniques that support emotion control and clearer communication.
Mindfulness and narrative ideas are also woven in to help people notice patterns and tell a different story about themselves when that serves their goals. People who want a straightforward, collaborative style often find this helpful. The work focuses on clear steps, skill practice, and steady progress toward agreed goals.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape patterns in close bonds. It helps people understand trust, closeness, and reactions to loss or abandonment and can guide work on relationship worry and attachment issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. These skills are useful when anger, impulsivity, or emotional overwhelm make daily life harder.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Video works well for deeper conversation and skills practice, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing skills coaching. These options make it practical to keep a steady routine of appointments from different locations and schedules.
