About Wanda
Dr. Wanda Woodward is a Tennessee LPC-MHSP with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and challenges such as guilt and shame.
She holds a doctorate in psychology from Saybrook University and a master’s degree in counseling from Villanova University. Her background also includes over 15 years in human resources management in corporate settings, which informs her understanding of workplace stress and career pressures.
Her practice uses client-centered methods with psychodynamic and Jungian influences. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how early life wounds shape current behavior. Sessions often look at how thoughts, emotions, and relationships connect to symptoms people bring in.
Dr. Woodward also brings an interest in spiritual and philosophical questions. She has published two books about the Transcendent Psyche and integrates ideas about meaning, purpose, and a Higher Self when clients wish to include those themes.
In practical terms she focuses on helping people identify goals, uncover obstacles, and develop clearer ways of relating to themselves and others. She works with adults who want to understand the roots of their distress and develop steps toward more manageable daily functioning.
Her approach is straightforward and reflective. She listens, traces patterns back to past experiences, and collaborates with clients to find solutions that fit their lives.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how people connect and disconnect from others. Online conversations can make it possible to notice patterns in real time and practice new ways of relating during sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. That approach helps clients name painful feelings like guilt or shame and decide which next steps feel doable.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying one fixed model. That collaborative process includes checking in about what helps and adjusting the focus over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people connect with a licensed professional from where they already are, while the therapist and client decide together how to structure sessions to suit life and goals.
