Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Wanda Blanco

Wanda uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the individual's experience, offering reflective listening and collaborative goal-setting so clients feel heard and guided rather than directed. This approach is helpful for people working through relationship patterns, self-esteem concerns, and the emotional aftermath of trauma.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, phobias, and process addictions by teaching practical skills that can be used between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing is another method Wanda employs when ambivalence or low motivation is a barrier to change. This approach supports clients in clarifying personal values and strengthening their own reasons for change in a way that feels respectful and empowering.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Wanda works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Wanda can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities, support consistent access to care across distances within the region, and allow clients to choose the communication style that fits them best.
