About Wanda
Wanda Goldthrip is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 14 years of experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health, and with people facing grief, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, panic, and difficulty coping with life changes. She speaks English and practices in Georgia.
Her approach mixes practical therapies with attention to values. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness techniques help slow down intense feelings and build steady attention. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel unmotivated or unsure about change.
Wanda says she blends Christian-based therapy with secular methods and will shape conversations and plans around each person's needs and preferences. That means sessions may include talking through difficult feelings, examining patterns that reduce confidence, and experimenting with small behavior changes between visits.
She has helped people navigate grief and loss, manage mood symptoms, and reconsider life purpose after major transitions. Practical skills, short exercises, and straightforward discussion are typical parts of her work.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site. If you are seeking help for loneliness, guilt, or panic attacks, reaching out for an initial meeting will clarify next steps and fit.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Wanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck, then practices small experiments to change those patterns. CBT is practical and often focuses on actions between sessions to build momentum.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and breathing exercises that can reduce the intensity of strong emotions like panic or grief. Mindfulness helps people notice feelings without immediately reacting and can support steadier decision making.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wanda treats approach selection as a shared decision. She discusses goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before then chooses methods that fit the individual's needs.
