About Wanda

Wanda Jensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses practical, relationship-focused therapy to help people facing stress and life changes. She centers the therapeutic relationship on empathy, understanding, and respect. Her approach is aimed at helping clients build skills and make steady progress toward clearer goals.

Wanda draws on systems thinking to see how family, friends, work, and community shape daily challenges. She looks at patterns in relationships and surroundings to identify what keeps problems going.

Background and approach

This helps her pick concrete steps clients can try between sessions. Her training includes Applied Behavioral Analysis, which supports breaking down habits and rebuilding healthier routines. She also practices Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, to help people process traumatic memories that feel stuck.

Wanda pairs these methods with evidence-based strategies from cognitive behavior therapy and acceptance-focused work. In therapy she focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, parenting struggles, relationship and family problems, anger, and mood issues. She also addresses specific topics like attachment, codependency, communication struggles, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill-building, and realistic plans for change. Wanda brings four years of professional experience in Montana. She offers therapy in English and provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and connection patterns, which can help with communication problems, attachment issues, and relationship stress.

Wanda treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She listens to each person’s goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try first. Over time she adjusts the plan based on what helps most, so therapy remains practical and client-centered.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family routines and to use skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach coping tools, guide EMDR-style trauma work when appropriate, and practice communication exercises in real time, helping clients apply changes directly to daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
