About Wanda

Wanda Goldthrip is an LPC based in Georgia who focuses on helping adults navigate loss, mood concerns, and major life transitions. With 14 years of professional experience, she works with people coping with grief, depression, bipolar-related challenges, panic and anxiety, and struggles with self-esteem and self-love.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses related themes such as forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and finding life purpose. Wanda blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with an empathetic, respectful style that aims to meet each person where they are.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to create tailored plans that emphasize skill development, thoughtful reflection, and gradual change. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and adapts conversations and goals to each client’s individual needs.

Sessions are offered online through a variety of formats to suit different preferences, and Wanda encourages those taking the first step toward change to reach out and begin the matching process. Her approach emphasizes compassion, realistic strategies, and steady progress toward greater well-being.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Wanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and panic. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to promote present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and support emotional regulation especially during times of grief or major life change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the plan over time so methods align with what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and access therapy from familiar environments while engaging in skill-building and reflective work with a licensed professional.
