More about Wanda

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a clinically licensed social worker who is trained to provide therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults. I have experience with providing services with couples and also provide premarital counseling. I use faith-based counseling with clients who identify that desire this type of service to help resolve issues and symptoms. I also use cognitive behavioral therapy and solutions therapy to assist clients with identifying strengths, gifts, and skills that they currently possess to help them to achieve their goals. I work with the client to assist them with planning and achieving their goals and work to help them become the person they want to be. I have achieved success with assisting individuals with accomplishing goals and have been instrumental in helping families to re-unify and resolve issues that cause friction and discord in their relationship. I provide a safe, nurturing environment to allow individuals to thrive.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Ithat.I have only been working with Wanda for around 2-3 weeks but I feel comfortable with her. It was amazing how she pinpointed a relationship in my life that I have avoided acknowledging as a serious problem. I've known it and she picked up right away. I am making safe steps to get out of that situation so I can live my life in peace.
