About Wanda

Wanda Kramer is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience who blends practical, evidence-informed tools with a compassionate, person-focused stance.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and existential ideas to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and build coping skills for stress, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, and trauma.

Her background includes a BS in Gerontology and hands-on experience as a caregiver and protective case manager, which inform her sensitivity to life stage challenges and caregiving stress.

Kramer has worked with clients across the lifespan, including adolescents and women in different life phases, and adapts methods to each person’s needs when addressing relationship struggles, parenting concerns, ADHD-related difficulties, or career and life-purpose questions.

Known for a creative, individualized approach, she integrates mindfulness and motivational interviewing when helpful and attends to practical problems such as communication patterns, codependency, family-of-origin themes, and end-of-life or hospice-related concerns. She practices in Florida and uses varied session formats to fit clients’ schedules and preferences.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with flexible online care

Wanda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, obsessive habits, or mood instability. CBT is practical and skill-oriented, which can be especially useful for stress, mood disorders, and obsessive-compulsive concerns.

She also works from a client-centered perspective, focusing on listening, empathy, and the client's own goals to create a supportive environment for self-exploration and growth. This approach pairs well with existential therapy when clients are facing life transitions, questions about meaning, or midlife concerns, encouraging reflection about values and purpose.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options with each person and adapt tools based on symptoms, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they set goals and adjust strategies as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for busy schedules, caregiver responsibilities, and geographic limitations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and integrate therapy into daily life while working with a licensed professional in Florida.
