About Kerri
Kerri Wenner welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma and brings 12 years of experience to each session. Kerri aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and major life changes with practical tools and steady support.
Kerri uses clear, straightforward methods that people can apply between sessions. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and from the Gottman Method to address relationship issues.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational techniques are used to build coping skills and strengthen motivation for change. Sessions are focused on the problem at hand and on small, workable steps forward. Kerri helps clients set goals, try new ways of communicating, and practice skills that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
She also addresses complex concerns such as trauma, addiction, and grief with attention to safety and pacing. Kerri works with a broad range of difficulties including sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, chronic illness, and work-related burnout. She supports people facing identity and intimacy questions, and those coping with impulsivity or emotional regulation challenges.
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care matters and blended family dynamics. Therapy with Kerri blends talk, skill-building, and practical problem solving. She encourages collaboration so people feel part of the plan.
Getting started involves a short matching process and scheduling a first appointment to see if it feels like a good fit.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Kerri commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns and conflict skills to improve relationship interactions and emotional connection. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kerri will help clients choose and try methods that match their goals, preferences, and life demands. She adjusts plans over time so the work stays relevant and practical for each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and role-play. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, written reflections, or when someone prefers text-based contact. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family obligations.
