About Joly

Joly Kettles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, anger, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, career issues, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She also addresses life transitions and a range of family-related difficulties including blended family issues, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and attachment concerns. With 13 years of experience in the mental health field, she brings a steady, experienced presence to clients navigating midlife questions, purpose, and the emotional impact of caregiving and aging.

Her style blends a client-centered stance with practical, evidence-informed strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational techniques to help clients identify patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and set workable goals. Joly emphasizes collaboration, helping each person use their strengths to create realistic plans for change while tailoring interventions to the situation at hand.

She offers multiple online session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules and welcomes motivated clients who are ready to explore change and build coping skills for lasting improvement.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Joly often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, relationship patterns, and coping with life transitions. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s goals and values guide the work. These approaches are combined with motivational interviewing or solution-focused strategies when helping clients set goals and build momentum for change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailor techniques that feel like a good fit. This means the methods can evolve over time as progress is made and priorities shift, with the client’s input shaping each step of the plan.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it practical to maintain consistent work on concerns like grief, relationship issues, or stress management while fitting therapy into everyday life.
