About Wanda
Wanda earned a Bachelor of Science in Gerontology, which gave her a foundation in the lifespan and in caregiver roles. She went on to complete a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and holds a Florida LMHC. Those experiences shape how she understands stress, aging, and caregiving issues.
Her work often centers on everyday concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and mood-related challenges including bipolar disorder. She also helps people facing parenting strain, relationship problems, and questions about identity and intimacy. Wanda draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to match methods to each person’s needs.
Wanda describes herself as practical and creative in planning sessions. She pays attention to each person’s life stage and real-world pressures when suggesting tools and small habit changes. Sessions typically focus on concrete skills, clearer thinking, and routines that fit daily life.
Many clients come for help with communication patterns, codependency, life purpose, and coping with transitions. Wanda also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the isolation that can come with major life changes.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment, which helps people feel heard and shape goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical exercises for managing anxiety, depression, and unhealthy habit patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to interrupt automatic reactions and reduce stress.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and day-to-day routines, then suggest methods to try. Adjustments are made as needed so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model on every issue.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a work break, avoid travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when days are busy. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills in the settings where problems occur, and to move at a pace that matches each person's life demands.
