About Joly

Joly Kettles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 13 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger, and the fallout of life changes. She also addresses family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, self-esteem, career issues, and compassion fatigue.

Her sessions are practical and focused. She listens, asks clear questions, and works with clients to identify small, doable changes. Joly uses client-centered listening alongside tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods to help people notice patterns and try different actions.

She often helps people who are stuck in caretaking roles or who feel lost around others' needs, including people dealing with codependency patterns. Work in sessions can include spotting unhelpful thoughts, practicing saying no, and setting realistic short-term goals to test new behaviors.

Joly draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and find internal reasons to change. She combines that with concrete steps from CBT and solution-focused techniques so progress can be noticed and measured.

People who choose her typically want straightforward help with decision points, better boundary skills, and relief from chronic worry or anger. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can discuss goals and next steps.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic methods translate to online work

Joly uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes listening and follow-up questions so clients can name what matters to them. This method helps clarify goals and keeps the focus on the person's priorities rather than on the therapist's agenda.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is helpful for anxiety, anger, and stress when people want concrete steps to try between sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build commitment before trying new behaviors or setting boundaries.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process can start in the first session and be adjusted as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to practice new skills in the rhythms of everyday life while discussing what's working and what needs to change.
