Valerie Keller Gates
I am a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma. I received a Bachelor of Science from Southern Nazarene University in Family Studies and Gerontology and a Masters of Human Relations with the emphasis of Licensed Professional Counseling from The University of Oklahoma. I have experience with adults, families, and groups. I have worked with those struggling with mild to severe mental illness as well as those individuals who are struggling with issues including depression, grief & loss, abuse/neglect, addictions with dual diagnosis, behavioral problems, bipolar, and parenting problems. I adapt my counseling style to each individual. However, within my experience, I have noticed that clients are more adaptable to me utilizing a counseling style of a client-focused approach. I believe that it is important to meet the client where they currently are in their journey of life and work from that point. I am a very transparent-honest-caring individual in my day to day life and I bring that trait to each session with the belief that in doing so, the client feels more at ease with being honest as issues and challenges are being processed. I believe everyone deserves respect and compassion as well as the opportunity to have added support when needed. My approach/style combines cognitive-behavioral and client-centered….just to name a few. A client’s treatment plan and the direction of the sessions will be tailored to meet the individual needs. "Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come".

Jonetta Wakely
As a licensed professional counselor, I believe in meeting clients on a level playing field as each client has a unique and personal understanding of themselves and is an expert in their own lives. I look to my clients to educate me on what is important to them and how we might best work together to reach a positive outcome. My fundamental belief is that most people are doing the best they can at any given point in their life and there are straight forward reasons for doing what they choose to do. I don’t get bogged down in talking about good or bad, right or wrong, or he said she said but rather what are more effective choices in creating a life worth living. I am extensively trained in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). CBT is the number one therapeutic modality in the world bar none and was developed by Dr. Aaron Beck. I had the good fortune to receive 160 hours of advanced training by the Beck Institute. I also am certified (C-DBT) in Dialectical Behavior Therapy developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan where the focus is on making decisions about what will work effectively for you and what is not effectively. Information on both CBT and DBT are available online to help you make an informed decision on how best to move forward in your goals and in your life.

Hello, and welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been providing therapy since 2017. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, grief and loss, relationship challenges, life transitions, burnout, chronic stress, and adjustment to major life changes. My professional background includes work in emergency and crisis mental health settings, where I supported individuals experiencing acute psychiatric crises, suicidality, severe mental health symptoms, and major life disruptions. I have worked extensively with veterans, active-duty military personnel, first responders, and individuals exposed to high-stress and traumatic environments. As a veteran, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my work with military and veteran populations. I have experience helping individuals navigate military trauma, combat-related stress, operational stress injuries, moral injury, reintegration challenges, traumatic loss, and the psychological impact of prolonged exposure to conflict and violence. I have also worked with individuals who have lived, worked, or served in war and combat environments, as well as family members and loved ones affected by military service and deployment. In addition to supporting service members and veterans, I have experience working with spouses, partners, parents, and family members of active-duty personnel and combat veterans. Military service can affect entire families, and I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the unique challenges of military life, deployment, loss, caregiving responsibilities, relationship strain, and the transition back to civilian life. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe therapy should be both supportive and practical, helping clients better understand themselves while building skills to navigate life's challenges. I tailor treatment to each individual's unique experiences, strengths, values, and goals.

Find a therapist near you in Laverne, Oklahoma
Finding a therapist near you in Laverne, Oklahoma starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Oklahoma is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care.

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.
Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Oklahoma, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Oklahoma, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals.

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
