About Wanda
Wanda Blanco is a mental health professional based in Maryland who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on 17 years of experience to guide clients through practical steps toward feeling steadier and more capable.
Her approach emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on real problems and small, achievable changes rather than only long conversations.
Background and approach
Wanda aims to help clients notice patterns, test new ways of coping, and build confidence over time. Wanda uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She relies on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective, and she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Motivational interviewing also shows up in her work to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change. People often come for help with communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, or challenges tied to military or first responder life. She also works with phobias, post-traumatic stress, process addictions, and concerns about life purpose and self-love.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with time set aside for practical tools. Wanda holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, or LCPC. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step connect someone to the right fit for ongoing work.

Online support
How therapy approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they feel heard and can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs support to sort through feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Motivational Interviewing uses guided questions and reflection to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change and works well when someone feels unsure or stuck.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time based on what helps most. This makes it easier to focus sessions on practical progress rather than one fixed method.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone send notes between sessions or have brief exchanges without scheduling a full call. These options make it possible to fit care around work, family, or changing schedules while using approaches like CBT, client-centered work, and motivational interviewing effectively.
