About Wanda
Her training includes a Bachelor of Science in Gerontology and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. That background gives her a broad view of aging and life stages, and she also has hands-on experience as a caregiver and protective case manager. Those experiences shape how she notices family roles and long-term caregiving stresses.
Wanda uses an eclectic style in sessions, often blending Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential approaches. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when they match a person’s goals. The result is a flexible plan that concentrates on what each person needs right now.
She regularly helps people with relationship tension, intimacy-related concerns, and communication problems. Wanda also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar and other mood disorders, compulsive behaviors, and caregiving burnout. She works with adults across the lifespan, including midlife and aging-related issues.
Conversations in sessions are practical and personal. Wanda listens, helps identify patterns, and suggests small steps that can fit into daily life. If you want straightforward guidance on relationships and life transitions, she offers an approachable, experience-informed way to work toward change.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions; this is useful for relationship concerns and self-esteem work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tries specific steps to change them. CBT often includes short practical exercises and homework that fit well with weekly online check-ins.
Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, choices, and responsibility in midlife and life transitions. That approach can help when someone is rethinking relationships, career direction, or life purpose.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust as you go. Expect the plan to evolve based on what helps most in real life.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use a mix of conversation, guided exercises, and at-home practice to keep progress steady without asking for big schedule changes.
