01About Wanda
Wanda Barnes supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma and relationship struggles. She helps with parenting challenges, communication problems, eating and body-image concerns, and the strain that comes from caregiving. Wanda works with people who identify as LGBT and with those navigating life changes and compassion fatigue.
Wanda brings 15 years of experience providing direct clinical care. She holds ME LCPC, FL LMHC credentials, which reflect licensure in Maine and Florida.
Background and approach
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak about what matters most to them. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Wanda listens first, then helps people set small, practical goals.
She blends client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. When trauma or abuse is part of the problem, she uses trauma-focused strategies and mindfulness exercises to reduce intense reactions. Solution-focused techniques are used for quicker, goal-directed work when people need concrete steps and measurable change.
Wanda offers sessions in English and Romanian and works with adults across a wide range of concerns. She explains steps clearly and helps people build coping skills they can use between sessions. Taking a first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step feel manageable.

04Online support
How these approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship where the client leads the conversation. Online sessions let Wanda follow that pace while people talk through what feels most pressing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors step by step. In remote sessions Wanda can teach simple CBT tools and assign short between-session tasks to practice new skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wanda will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up to decide which methods to use. She adapts techniques as needed so the plan fits the person and their daily life.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. Video calls are useful for a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or shorter, more frequent support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
