Wanda Briggs , LCMHC

Wanda Briggs is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with 21 years of experience supporting adults through difficult life moments. She combines a person-centered, holistic stance with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression, and the challenges of major life changes.

Her practice emphasizes empathy and collaborative partnership - she takes time to understand each person’s individual story and tailors care to the whole person, considering emotional, physical, and relational factors. Wanda integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and integrative therapeutic methods to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns while drawing on complementary strategies that fit each person’s needs and values.

Wanda works with a wide range of concerns, including caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose and midlife transitions, mood and panic disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety, and issues specific to women. She approaches grief and loss with particular attention, offering steady support as clients navigate endings, transitions, and the process of redefining meaning.

Throughout the therapeutic relationship, Wanda partners with clients to set goals, build practical skills, and develop insight. Her aim is to foster growth, resilience, and greater clarity so people can move forward with increased confidence and a renewed sense of purpose.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice and evaluate the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, and low mood. By practicing specific strategies and skill-building exercises, clients can develop more helpful thinking patterns and coping tools that address everyday challenges.

Integrative therapy blends techniques from multiple evidence-based approaches and considers emotional, physical, and relational factors. This flexible method allows the therapist to tailor strategies to the individual, drawing on what best fits a person’s history, values, and current concerns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Wanda works with each person to explore options, set goals, and adapt methods as needs and preferences evolve. Together they assess what feels most helpful and change course when a different strategy may be a better fit.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, health issues, or mobility limits. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapeutic work into everyday life while connecting with licensed professionals and therapists from wherever one is based.
