About Kerri

Kerri Wenner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people move forward from stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, trauma, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

She brings 12 years of clinical experience to each case, tailoring sessions to a client’s strengths and current needs while using practical strategies to address symptoms and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Her work combines cognitive and relational tools with focused, collaborative planning.

Kerri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with mindfulness practices and elements of the Gottman Method and motivational interviewing to help clients change unhelpful thinking, strengthen communication, and clarify goals. She also attends to areas such as intimacy concerns, parenting, career transitions, mood disorders, and compassion fatigue.

Based in Oklahoma and licensed as OK LCSW 5597 and TX LCSW 106290, Kerri offers therapy in English and provides several remote session formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

She describes the first steps as an easy matching process followed by scheduling based on availability, and she works with clients on a subscription basis that can be canceled at any time.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches into Online Care

Many clients begin by wondering which methods will best address their concerns; Kerri often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and clarify actionable steps toward change. She also uses the Gottman Method to support couples in improving communication, rebuilding trust, and resolving conflict through structured skills and exercises.

These approaches are explained and evaluated collaboratively in early sessions so the therapist and client can decide together which strategies fit the client’s needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative process can include combining CBT skills, mindfulness practices, and relationship-focused work when that alignment helps move progress forward.

Online therapy with Kerri is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. Remote formats make it easier to continue care through life transitions, coordinate around work or family obligations, and access ongoing skill practice between sessions while maintaining professional support from a licensed professional.
