01About Wanda
Wanda Blanco helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 17 years of experience in clinical settings. Wanda holds MD and LCPC credentials and practices in Maryland.
She aims to make the first step feel less overwhelming for people seeking change. Wanda creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they need to say.
Background and approach
She focuses on clear conversation and practical steps rather than jargon. Sessions are geared toward understanding what is happening now and finding small actions that can make daily life easier. Her work draws on several approaches.
Client-centered therapy helps people lead conversations about what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to find internal reasons to change.
When trauma or abuse is part of a person's story, Wanda pays attention to how those experiences affect feelings and relationships today. She also helps people work through issues like guilt, shame, forgiveness, and control problems in concrete ways. First responder and veteran issues are included among areas she addresses.
Wanda aims to support progress at a manageable pace. She partners with each person to set goals and adjust the plan as needed. People can expect clear talk, steady support, and practical tools to help them move forward.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace. The therapist listens closely and follows what feels most relevant to the client, which helps when people want space to talk through relationship matters or self-worth concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tests small changes to see what helps. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and phobias because it offers clear steps to try between sessions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest ways to work together. Plans can change as progress is made, and methods are adapted to what feels most useful for the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing contact between sessions and make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. These options help people access licensed professionals from different locations and arrange care around work, caregiving, or travel.
