About Wanda

Wanda Blanco is a Maryland-licensed clinician with 17 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and issues related to self-esteem and depression. Holding an MD - a medical degree - and an LCPC, which is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential, she blends medical insight with counseling expertise to address both emotional and practical aspects of change.

Wanda works collaboratively with clients to establish an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She helps clients build confidence and motivation while navigating relationship concerns, grief, post-traumatic stress, and other areas like communication difficulties, control issues, and process addictions. Her practice emphasizes empowerment - guiding people to identify goals, recognize strengths, and take achievable steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Recognizing that seeking help takes courage, Wanda offers steady support through each stage of the therapeutic process. She aims to meet clients where they are, tailoring interventions to individual needs and preferences while fostering resilience, clearer communication, and a stronger sense of self.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and growth

Wanda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathic environment where clients are encouraged to explore feelings and values at their own pace - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and clarifying life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and phobias. She may also incorporate Motivational Interviewing when clients are working on behavior change or finding motivation to address issues like addictions or lifestyle goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wanda and each client work together to choose techniques that match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine methods to create a personalized path forward.

Online therapy with Wanda offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins or ongoing support can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. This variety of formats makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
