About Wanda
Wanda Rodgers is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of professional experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, sleep problems, low self-esteem, or career stress. Wanda aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin to sort through what feels most urgent.
She focuses on practical conversation and collaborative problem solving. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs so they leave with concrete steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Wanda also helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related worries, and challenges tied to ADHD. Her practice pays attention to life transitions and long-term health struggles. She supports people dealing with chronic pain, serious illness, caregiving, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the emotional effects of aging.
Wanda also works with clients navigating substance issues, grief, guilt, and relationship breaches such as infidelity. Wanda uses approaches that emphasize listening and clear strategies. She draws from client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, motivational interviewing, and brief solution-focused methods.
These tools help with mood regulation, behavior change, and improving communication. Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or messaging. Wanda is licensed in Mississippi and the practice reflects her years of experience helping people find manageable ways forward.
Approaches that fit online care
Client-centered therapy starts by focusing on the person’s priorities and experiences. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and shaping sessions around what the client wants to work on, which can help when anxiety or life changes feel overwhelming.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and motivation by turning insights into concrete skills and experiments to try between sessions.
Emotionally-focused therapy helps people better understand and express strong feelings and improve how they connect with others. This approach can be useful for relationship strain, intimacy worries, and healing from hurtful events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wanda will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then blend methods as needed. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust plans when something isn’t working.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, caregiving duties, health-related mobility limits, or when someone prefers not to be on camera.
