About Kerri
Kerri Wenner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma with 12 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, addiction concerns, and the practical effects of life changes. Kerri also lists work around ADHD, compassion fatigue, and adoption or foster care challenges.
She uses concrete, skill-based approaches in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness tools are part of how she helps people notice patterns, practice different responses, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. The Gottman Method informs her work on communication and closeness when relationship concerns come up.
Kerri draws on Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy when people want to change habits or reframe difficult stories from their past. Sessions often focus on small, doable steps and on clarifying values and goals. She blends these approaches to match what a person brings each week rather than following a single formula.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in social work across a range of behavioral health concerns. Kerri lists experience addressing blended family issues, commitment and communication problems, chronic illness and pain, substance use, and trauma-related themes. This experience shapes practical strategies for everyday problems at home.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the professional scope of an LCSW licensed in Oklahoma and Texas. For people who want to start, she asks them to use the site matching questionnaire to schedule a first session and pick a plan that fits their situation.
How sessions work
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Many of Kerri's methods adapt well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which often becomes a set of exercises and small experiments people try between meetings. The Gottman Method centers on communication skills and repair strategies for relationships; in a remote session this usually looks like practicing specific dialogues and learning new ways to listen and respond. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and body-based awareness, useful for managing anxiety, stress, and anger through short practices and built-in breathing or grounding exercises.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kerri will talk with a person about their goals, current difficulties, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and preference.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work often helps fit therapy into busy days by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it straightforward to use worksheets, audio practices, and homework between sessions so learning can continue outside appointment times.
