About Kerri
Kerri Wenner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, depression, and other life challenges. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on real changes that fit daily life.
Kerri uses narrative approaches alongside cognitive and mindfulness tools to help people reframe hard experiences. She draws on methods that look at thoughts, patterns, and the stories people tell about themselves.
Background and approach
This helps clients spot unhelpful cycles and try new ways of responding. Her background includes 12 years of clinical experience and licensed practice in Oklahoma and Texas as an LCSW. That history has involved work with relationship difficulties, addiction concerns, grief, parenting stress, and chronic health issues.
Kerri pays attention to the whole picture when planning care. In sessions she may combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with mindfulness practices to manage mood and anxiety symptoms. She also integrates relationship work informed by the Gottman Method to address communication and connection.
Narrative Therapy is used to unpack identity, meaning, and the impact of past events. People who come to Kerri get a collaborative plan that fits their goals. She explains options, practices skills together, and tracks small changes over time.
The focus is on building steady coping skills and clearer communication for daily life.

How narrative and cognitive approaches work online
Working with Narrative Therapy means looking at the stories that shape how someone sees themselves and their relationships. Sessions help people notice dominant storylines, name alternative perspectives, and practice different narratives that support hope and change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing them, and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression and improve daily functioning.
The Gottman-informed work concentrates on communication and emotional connection for people dealing with relationship strain. It uses specific exercises to improve listening, repair after conflict, and rebuild trust and intimacy.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches together, and adjust techniques based on the client's needs and preferences. Clients help set priorities and evaluate what feels most helpful over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for longer work that includes exercises and conversation, phone calls can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and messaging or chat can support quick check-ins, homework, or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent progress.
