About Jonetta Wakely

Jonetta Wakely approaches counseling from a stance of respect and collaboration, believing that each person is an expert in their own life and experience. She invites people to teach her what matters to them and to co-create a path forward that aligns with their goals and values. Jonetta works from the assumption that most people are doing the best they can in any given moment and that behavior often has understandable reasons behind it, so she steers conversations away from blame or moralizing toward practical choices that build a life worth living.

She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - which indicates graduate-level training and state licensure to provide counseling. Jonetta has advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, including 160 hours of instruction from the Beck Institute, and she is certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT), an approach developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan that emphasizes practical decision-making about what works and what does not. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and evidence-informed techniques to help clients move toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Counseling

Jonetta integrates several evidence-informed approaches into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while building practical coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help people make clearer choices about what works for them in relationships and daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns influence current connections and self-concept, which can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and trauma-related issues.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Jonetta works collaboratively with each person to select and adapt approaches based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and effective.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care, try different session formats, and access licensed professionals from a convenient location while maintaining a focus on meaningful therapeutic progress.
