Wanda Briggs, LCMHC

Wanda Briggs is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 21 years of professional experience. She offers a compassionate, person-centered approach that attends to mind, body, and spirit while tailoring care to each individual’s needs. Wanda focuses on helping people facing grief and loss, anxiety and depression, stress, self-esteem struggles, and the many challenges that come with life transitions and relationship strain.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and empathy - she takes time to understand each client’s story and works together with them to set realistic goals and develop practical strategies. Wanda integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside integrative therapy methods to help clients gain insight, shift unhelpful patterns, and build skills for managing emotional and behavioral difficulties. She prioritizes creating a nonjudgmental space where authenticity and self-discovery are encouraged.

Wanda also brings attention to issues such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions of life purpose. Many clients begin to notice meaningful change within 6 to 8 sessions when they engage with the work between meetings. Throughout therapy Wanda treats clients as experts on their own lives and supports them in finding practical solutions that foster growth, resilience, and clearer direction.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Wanda Briggs uses evidence-based techniques tailored to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Integrative therapy blends multiple therapeutic perspectives to address emotional, physical, and relational aspects of well-being, which can be especially helpful for grief, chronic pain, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Wanda partners with clients to find what fits best. She emphasizes a collaborative relationship - listening to each person’s goals and preferences, trying interventions together, and adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around daily responsibilities, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access support from the comfort of familiar surroundings. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to provide meaningful, effective guidance that fits a client’s lifestyle.
