About Wanda

Wanda Jensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana who draws on cognitive and behavioral approaches to support clients facing a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She brings a pragmatic, growth-minded perspective that emphasizes understanding the forces shaping behavior and building concrete skills to reach meaningful goals. Wanda combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas with systems-informed thinking and applied behavioral analysis to look at how family, community, environment, and routines influence daily functioning.

With four years of professional experience, she applies techniques from EMDR to assist those working through trauma and from acceptance-based and client-centered methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, and relationship strains.

She works with people coping with parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, and communication problems. Wanda aims to foster resilience by helping clients identify strengths, replace unhelpful habits with healthier skills, and pursue practical steps toward their goals.

Combining evidence-based approaches with flexible online care

Wanda draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and build psychological flexibility when facing difficult feelings and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work on relationship and family patterns by exploring how early and ongoing relational dynamics shape present-day interactions and emotional responses.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process she undertakes with each client; she will work together with clients to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different methods and adjust the plan as needed. This collaborative stance helps ensure the therapeutic work aligns with what the client finds most helpful.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. These formats allow for ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and consistent access to a licensed professional from diverse settings, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while pursuing therapy goals.
