About Wanda
Wanda Jensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Montana with four years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, anger, mood disorders, and ADHD. Wanda names codependency among her additional focus areas and supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, and communication problems.
She grew up in a small Montana town and often notices how family and community connections shape people's coping and choices. That perspective leads her to look at problems within the web of relationships and life circumstances that influence behavior. Wanda uses systems thinking to consider factors such as family, friends, social settings, economic class, and home environment.
Wanda also has a degree in Applied Behavioral Analysis. She uses that background to identify habits that keep people stuck and to teach concrete skills that replace unhelpful patterns. Those skills are aimed at reaching goals and improving day-to-day functioning.
Her practice includes methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches. She is also a general EMDR practitioner and uses it with people working through traumatic memories and distressing life events.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking about relationships and boundaries. Wanda emphasizes building on a person's strengths while addressing grief, midlife transitions, compassion fatigue, and other challenges that affect mood and functioning.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking committed action toward what matters. It can help when anxiety, perfectionism, or people-pleasing get in the way of living a valued life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that increase stress or depression. Both approaches lend themselves to skill practice between sessions and clear behavioral steps.Wanda aims to work collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches. She will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed rather than sticking to one fixed plan.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins, or make it easier to keep regular appointments without travel. Talk with Wanda about what scheduling and session lengths would best fit day-to-day life and responsibilities.
