About Wanda

Wanda Rodgers brings 13 years of clinical experience to her practice in Mississippi, helping people who struggle with sleep problems, low self-esteem, career challenges, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, trauma, intimacy issues, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's distinct circumstances. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, emotionally-focused work, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to address immediate concerns and build practical skills.

Wanda works with a wide range of additional concerns such as chronic illness and pain, substance use, grief and end-of-life matters, and mood-related difficulties, adapting interventions to fit the needs presented. Clients can expect a collaborative process that honors their goals and pace.

Wanda encourages people to recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to create a therapeutic partnership that supports growth, coping, and clearer decision making.

Therapeutic methods and online care that fit your life

Wanda often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for worries, mood concerns, sleep issues, and stress. She also uses client-centered therapy to provide attentive, nonjudgmental listening and to center sessions on each person's values and goals. Emotionally-focused techniques are used when relationships or attachment-related concerns are central, helping clients explore feelings and improve emotional connection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together; Wanda treats the decision as collaborative, matching methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan. She reviews options with clients and adjusts the plan as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase access and flexibility. These formats make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and use different communication styles as needed while working toward tangible goals.
