About Kerri

Kerri Wenner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, depression, and life changes. She practices in Oklahoma and brings 12 years of clinical experience to conversations about grief, addiction, parenting strain, and chronic health challenges. Kerri uses practical steps so people can feel steadier in daily life and regain a sense of control.

Kerri tailors each session to the person in front of her. She blends straightforward skill building with work on patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions often include goal setting, thinking skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm. She also draws on narrative methods to help people make sense of troubling experiences.

Relationship work uses the Gottman Method to rebuild communication and address intimacy-related concerns. For trauma and abuse, she incorporates trauma-informed strategies to help people process painful memories and notice strengths that support recovery. Kerri also supports those adjusting to chronic pain, illness, or disability and other life disruptions.

Kerri has experience helping people with ADHD, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. She addresses family and blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and problems with substance use and impulsivity in practical, step-by-step ways. The focus is on what helps in day-to-day life, not on labels.

Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats when booking, and can begin by completing the site's short matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it focuses on practical steps. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and build clearer routines to reduce anxiety or depression. The Gottman Method gives concrete communication tools for couples and helps people rebuild trust and improve problem solving in close relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lessen overwhelm and improve sleep and focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether CBT, Gottman techniques, mindfulness, or a mix of methods will best support the client's goals in ongoing sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during a workday. Online work can make it easier to keep continuity of care through life changes while focusing on skills and communication that carry into everyday routines.
