- 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.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Wanda is super sweet and helpful!
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.
Wanda is caring and attentive!
