About Pamela

Pamela Wagner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, career concerns, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She draws on a decade of clinical experience across settings such as hospice care, community mental health, and contracted independent practice to shape a pragmatic, person-centered approach. Pamela emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's values while helping clients build tools to manage symptoms and navigate transitions.

Her work blends evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered listening and mindfulness techniques, and she also incorporates EMDR and DBT strategies when appropriate. Pamela frames therapy as a partnership that honors each client’s life story and strengths, inviting clients to set goals and try concrete skills between sessions.

She is open to exploring spiritual beliefs as part of treatment and brings a warm, empathetic presence to the therapeutic relationship.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete skills to change reactions and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, giving space for clients to explore values and make self-directed changes while the therapist offers support and reflection. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends acceptance and change strategies and teaches specific skills like emotional regulation and distress tolerance, which can be useful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and interpersonal difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, adjusting techniques over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy with Pamela is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which adds flexibility for scheduling and access. These options allow clients to engage in skill practice, check-ins, and regular sessions from different locations, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
