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, relationship concerns, depression, grief, addictions, ADHD, and a range of family and life changes. Kerri also notes a focus on blended family issues and adoption and foster care concerns.
Kerri uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and practice different behaviors. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the problem, and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Sessions tend to include clear goal-setting, practical steps between meetings, and conversational work that examines how daily routines and roles affect stress. She will often teach skills for communication, impulse management, and coping with loss or trauma-related symptoms. Motivational interviewing and narrative approaches show up in how she helps people consider change and reframe personal stories.
Kerri frames challenges such as anger, intimacy issues, or commitment doubts as problems to be managed with tools and practice rather than as failures. She works with clients on concrete strategies for sleep, eating, and substance use concerns alongside emotional work.
People coming from blended households may find support for co-parenting tensions, loyalty conflicts, and shifting household routines. Kerri’s background emphasizes practical steps, consistent check-ins, and collaborative planning to help clients adjust to new roles and responsibilities.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kerri commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues. The Gottman Method provides practical communication tools and exercises for people addressing relationship patterns and conflict. Mindfulness Therapy offers brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client’s needs. That collaborative selection helps decide whether to emphasize skill practice, relationship exercises, or story-focused work in sessions.
Confirm the session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for quick check-ins between appointments. Phone sessions can work when lower bandwidth or a shorter meeting is needed, and video allows live practice of communication skills. The practical aim is to make sessions fit everyday life while using CBT, Gottman tools, or mindfulness to address the issues the client brings.
