About Wanda

Wanda Kramer is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who blends practical talk therapy with gentle, real-world guidance. She draws on 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Wanda writes and listens in plain language and focuses on what a parent or caregiver can do next.

She works from Florida and provides services in English. Wanda’s training began with a Bachelor of Science in Gerontology, the study of aging, which shaped her understanding of life stages and caregiving roles.

Background and approach

She later earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and completed the licensing process to hold FL LMHC MH15662. Her approach mixes client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools. She adapts methods to each person, helping them test new ways of thinking and practice different responses.

Sessions are practical and goal-focused so families can try things between meetings. Wanda has worked with children, teens, adults, and extended family systems. She pays attention to relationships inside the home, blended family dynamics, and the stresses caregivers carry.

Her background as a caregiver and protective case manager informs how she supports family roles and end-of-life concerns. People who come to Wanda can expect straightforward conversation, clear coping strategies, and collaborative planning. She helps clients untangle what matters most and build small habits that ease daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for families

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person in the room. It focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping them find their own solutions. This approach is useful when families need space to talk without judgment and want help sorting priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In short sessions clients learn to spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood issues, and coping strategies that parents can practice at home.

Wanda treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She talks with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. Together they decide whether to prioritize listening, skills training, mindfulness, or a mix based on what will work best for the family.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy families. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions fit into a workday, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to try new strategies between sessions.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
