About Kerri

Kerri Wenner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and substance concerns. She speaks plainly and works to make therapy feel manageable for someone juggling busy days and big feelings.

Background and approach

Her sessions aim to be practical and goal-focused so clients leave with clear next steps. Kerri draws from methods that fit each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

She uses the Gottman Method when helping partners improve communication and rebuild connection. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking patterns and learn new behaviors.

With 12 years of experience, she has supported clients dealing with trauma and abuse, mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder, and challenges such as ADHD, addiction, or chronic illness. She also helps people work through parenting stress, intimacy issues, and career-related worry.

Her approach blends direct skill-building with attention to personal history. Sessions can include short-term coaching-style work or deeper therapy aimed at lasting change.

Kerri often pairs mindfulness practices with practical exercises so clients have tools to use between sessions. She favors steady progress over quick fixes and helps clients set realistic goals.

Kerri is based in Oklahoma and meets with people in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How Kerri’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Kerri commonly uses the Gottman Method to help partners improve everyday communication, reduce conflict cycles, and rebuild connection through specific conversations and exercises. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change mood and stress responses. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she uses to teach breathing, grounding, and attention skills that reduce reactivity and promote calm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kerri will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques so the work fits the client’s life and moves toward practical goals.

Online sessions offer flexibility that many people need. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and guided exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions, get quick coaching, or track progress without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between appointments.
