Wanda Kramer, LMHC

Wanda Kramer is a licensed mental health counselor who blends practical talk therapy with empathy. She uses straightforward conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, and relationship issues. Wanda emphasizes clear, manageable steps so clients can start feeling steadier between sessions.

Wanda earned a Bachelor of Science in Gerontology, the study of aging, and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Her background includes hands-on work as a caregiver and protective case manager, which shaped how she thinks about life stages and caregiving stress. Those experiences inform her approach to aging and geriatric issues as well as hospice and end-of-life concerns.

She draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. In practice that means she listens first, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, and supports them in finding meaning and motivation. Sessions are adapted to each person rather than following one fixed method.

Wanda has 11 years of counseling experience and often works with women across different life stages, adolescents, and male clients as well. She also addresses caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and codependency. Her style is creative and practical, focusing on the person in front of her.

People come to Wanda for help with depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, obsessive patterns, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and midlife transitions. She aims to make therapy something that fits into everyday life and helps clients move toward clearer choices and healthier routines.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the relationship in the room and on being heard. It helps people who need acceptance and clear reflection to sort out feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and actions, and it offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, values, and life direction when facing transitions or loss.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wanda will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs. Together you will decide which techniques to keep using and which to adjust as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. It can also let people use mindfulness practices and homework exercises between sessions more easily. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so appointments can fit into everyday life.
