Kerri Wenner, LCSW

Kerri Wenner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, depression, and life transitions. Kerri aims to make therapy practical and easy to understand for busy people and worried parents.

Her sessions are down-to-earth and goal oriented. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help clients notice patterns and build small, sustainable changes.

Kerri has worked with people facing addictions, grief, identity questions, and parenting strain. She also supports clients with intimacy issues, sleep or eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and chronic illness. Her additional focus includes adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, and communication or commitment problems.

In therapy she helps people set clear goals and tracks progress from session to session. Conversations are practical - identifying triggers, practicing specific skills, and assigning short exercises to try between meetings. Over time the aim is better coping, clearer communication, and improved daily routines.

Kerri practices in Oklahoma and holds LCSW credentials for Oklahoma and Texas. Sessions are offered in English and are available through a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger by giving clear tools and short exercises to practice between sessions.

The Gottman Method centers on relationship skills and communication. In online sessions it can help couples and partners learn how to talk about hard topics, manage conflict, and rebuild trust through specific exercises and structured conversations.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It pairs well with CBT when people need ways to notice stress and step back before reacting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That may mean trying a mix of CBT, Gottman techniques, and mindfulness exercises and adjusting over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill coaching, phone works well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection and brief coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain progress over time.
