About Kerri

Kerri Wenner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She uses practical strategies to help clients manage mood, improve communication, and cope with painful experiences. Kerri writes in straightforward terms and aims to make therapy feel useful and doable for busy lives.

Her work draws on several well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavioral changes, and learning skills to calm the body and mind. Kerri also uses narrative and motivational methods to help people reframe difficult stories and build momentum toward goals.

Over 12 years of practice have shaped a flexible style that adapts to each person. She blends skills-based work with attention to emotional history when trauma or grief are present. Kerri also offers support around substance use, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns, and she notes an additional focus on adoption and foster care issues.

Clients can expect clear aims for therapy and practical homework between sessions when helpful. She pays attention to relationship patterns and communication problems, and applies specific tools for couples work when relevant. Kerri aims to help people find manageable steps forward rather than overwhelming change.

She conducts work in English and practices in Oklahoma. Her listed credentials include LCSW. The tone in sessions is direct but compassionate, with attention to both short-term coping and longer-term growth.

How Kerri’s Approaches Work Online

Kerri draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and try practical changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches grounding and attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

She also uses elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work, bringing structured skill practice to communication and conflict moments. These methods are practical and skill-based, which can translate well to remote sessions through discussion, guided exercises, and homework between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set clear aims and try techniques for a few sessions to see what fits best.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know how Kerri offers services. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, enable shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools learned in session in the moment between appointments.
