About Wanda
Wanda Goldthrip is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing grief, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, panic attacks, and self-love.
Wanda uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and motivational interviewing to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also integrates faith-based perspectives when clients want that included and adapts conversations to each person’s preferences.
Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes between meetings. Wanda helps people set concrete, manageable goals and practices skills together in session. She pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches straightforward tools to interrupt negative cycles.
Clients can expect a structured process with time for check-ins and skill practice. Wanda’s background includes working across a range of mental health concerns and diagnoses. She keeps language nontechnical and breaks down strategies into steps that are easy to use in daily life.
Her office is located in Georgia and she communicates in English. People who want to start are asked to use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to discuss goals and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Wanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice specific thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems, then practice alternative responses. CBT sessions often include brief exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build moment-to-moment awareness of thoughts, breath, and bodily sensations so reactions become easier to recognize and choose. Motivational Interviewing focuses on clarifying personal goals and strengthening the reasons for change rather than giving directives.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in early, adjusting the plan, and using tools that match how someone prefers to work - more action steps, more reflection, or a blend.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or lunch break, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep consistent practice and apply CBT and mindfulness exercises between sessions.
