About Wanda
Wanda Kramer is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 11 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. Parents and individuals turn to her for clear guidance on stress, parenting concerns, mood problems, and relationship struggles.
She trained in gerontology and has hands-on experience as a caregiver and protective case manager. That background informs her sense of life stages and the challenges people face over time.
Background and approach
Wanda uses that perspective to help clients put problems into context and plan realistic next steps. In sessions she adapts a few different approaches to fit each person. She leans on client-centered work to listen closely and on cognitive-behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also draws on mindfulness and existential ideas when people need help finding purpose or staying present. Wanda often works with women across a range of ages and also sees male clients, including teens. She pays attention to each person as an individual and adjusts tools to match their needs and goals.
Her style aims to be creative and down-to-earth rather than overly technical. Practical concerns are welcomed, from caregiving stress and blended family tensions to grief, ADHD, and mood disorders. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps clients can try between meetings.
Wanda encourages people to bring questions and real-life problems into the room so progress is tied to daily life.

How Wanda’s approaches fit online therapy
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead. Online sessions let Wanda hear what matters most and shape sessions around each person’s goals and struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear exercises clients can try between meetings to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Wanda will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they pick methods that feel right and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for more in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from face-to-face contact. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, and day-to-day support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a parent’s schedule, to continue work while traveling, or to choose a format that matches comfort and practical needs.
