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

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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.
