About Kerri

Kerri Wenner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, sleep problems, and grief. She has 12 years of clinical experience and offers straightforward, practical support. Kerri aims to meet people where they are and help them take the next realistic step toward feeling better.

Kerri blends talk-based work with practical tools. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns, trying simple behavior changes, and practicing new ways to relate to others. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and narrative work to help people make sense of their experiences.

People bring many different concerns to her, including addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, career stress, and challenges with intimacy or self-esteem. Kerri also works with issues related to adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, chronic illness and pain, and forgiveness or guilt.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Oklahoma and licensure as an LCSW in Oklahoma and Texas. She combines relationship-focused methods like the Gottman Method with motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools to help people reach concrete goals.

Kerri emphasizes collaboration and clear steps in therapy. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded, with attention to both emotional healing and daily routines such as sleep and self-care. Prospective clients can expect a direct, compassionate style that focuses on problem solving and gradual change.

How Kerri’s Approaches Translate Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change how they feel. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep-related habits. The Gottman Method focuses on practical skills for improving communication and rebuilding trust in relationships, using structured conversations and exercises to shift interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerri will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She combines approaches when useful and revisits the plan as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone practice new skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into discussion more easily. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and relationship tools to remote settings, and Kerri will help tailor sessions to what works for each person.
