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 ups and downs that come with life changes. Her work also covers parenting, career concerns, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and trauma and abuse.
Her style is straightforward and person-centered. She listens first, then uses practical techniques to help people manage thoughts and behaviors that make daily life harder. Conversations focus on identifying what matters to the person and on small steps that can reduce conflict, ease strong feelings, and improve choices.
Joly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at patterns of thinking and behavior. She combines this with Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person’s goals central. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used when clients want to set clear goals and build momentum for change.
In sessions she works with what the client brings day to day. People can expect help with communication problems, control and codependency issues, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and navigating separation or divorce. First responder issues and aging or geriatric concerns are also part of her experience.
Joly aims for practical progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions follow the client’s pace while targeting specific behaviors and choices that feed anger, resentment, or repeated conflict. She encourages clients to try small, concrete changes between conversations and to notice what shifts as a result.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and placing the person's goals at the center of work. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify what matters most, and supports decisions about next steps. This approach suits people who want a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation about their anger and relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It teaches practical tools to notice triggers, test unhelpful beliefs, and try new responses. CBT is useful for managing outbursts, workplace frustration, persistent worry, and patterns that feed resentment.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether to focus on thinking and behavior changes, goal-oriented steps, or a mix of methods.
