About Wanda
Wanda Kramer is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who blends practical talk with warm listening. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief, and relationship concerns. Wanda also addresses parenting challenges, career stress, ADHD, and money and financial issues in therapy.
Wanda earned a Bachelor of Science in Gerontology, which gave her a strong foundation in life stages and aging, and she has hands-on experience as a caregiver and protective case manager. She later completed a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and holds a Florida LMHC. Her background helps her see problems across the lifespan and understand family patterns.
Her style is person-focused and flexible. She uses client-centered work to hear what matters to each person, cognitive ideas to help change unhelpful thinking, and elements of existential and mindfulness approaches to find meaning and calm. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find the energy to make changes.
Wanda has worked in counseling for 11 years and has substantial experience with adolescents, women at many life stages, and adult men. She pays attention to each person’s story and adapts methods to meet practical needs.
She aims to help people make steady progress on everyday problems, from managing anger and compassion fatigue to sorting out family of origin issues, blended family challenges, and end-of-life concerns. If money or financial stress is part of the struggle, she includes that in the conversation and in practical planning.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify values and goals, which can support work on relationships, self-esteem, and life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and OCD behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending listening-focused work with CBT or bringing in mindfulness and motivational interviewing as needed.
Confirm available session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so clients can use breaks or lunch hours for appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice for remote work so progress continues between visits.
