Wanda Kramer , LMHC

Wanda Kramer has been counseling individuals, children, and families since 2013, guiding people through periods of change and personal growth. Her educational background includes a BS in Gerontology - the study of aging - which combines classroom learning about lifespan stages with practical experience gained while working as a caregiver and protective case manager. That hands-on perspective informs her work with extended families and with clients facing caregiving or aging-related concerns.

She went on to earn a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and has worked diligently to attain licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), a professional credential that signifies clinical training and authorization to provide mental health services. Kramer has found particular success working with women at all life stages, from girls to grandmothers, while also seeing male clients and supporting adolescents and teens.

Her therapeutic style is intentionally eclectic and creative, drawing on client-centered principles, cognitive approaches, existential and mindfulness elements, and motivational interviewing to fit each person as an individual. She spends time assessing each client's needs and preferences to shape a tailored plan that addresses stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, mood disorders, and other life challenges.

Client-Centered and Evidence-Informed Care Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist provides empathy, validation, and support. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing life transitions, and exploring personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills for staying present, noticing thoughts without judgment, and using breathing or grounding techniques to manage overwhelming emotions - useful for anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Wanda Kramer works collaboratively with each client to identify goals, test different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what best fits the client's needs, preferences, and progress. The emphasis is on a personalized, respectful partnership between therapist and client.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from a convenient location while working toward meaningful change.
