About Wanda

Wanda Jensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Montana with four years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Wanda also lists compassion fatigue and ADHD among her practice areas.

Wanda describes growing up in a very small Montana town where family and community ties shaped how she thinks about wellbeing. She helps people use their existing relationships and supports as part of making practical changes. Her approach emphasizes looking at the wider systems around a person - family, friends, work and economic factors - to better understand current difficulties.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Wanda also notes practice with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, sometimes called EMDR, to address trauma and distressing memories. Those methods guide sessions that combine talking, skills practice, and behavior-focused exercises.

Wanda holds a degree in Applied Behavioral Analysis and says this helps her identify what maintains unhelpful habits and how to replace them with more productive skills. She aims to support people who want concrete steps to manage anger, stress, and relationship strain.

People who choose to work with her can expect a direct, practical style that focuses on building skills and using personal strengths to handle problems in everyday life.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and committing to small, meaningful actions. It helps with persistent anger and avoidance by shifting attention toward chosen behaviors rather than getting stuck on strong feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies thought patterns and behavior cycles that feed anger and stress, then teaches practical exercises to change those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings are intense.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals, what has helped or not helped before, and test methods that match your needs. Sessions can blend approaches so you end up with workable skills and a plan to try between meetings.

The profile does not specify session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days - shorter check-ins during a break, not needing to travel, or using formats that reduce camera time if that helps. Talk with the therapist about what fits your routine and technical comfort, and she will suggest practical ways to make sessions useful for daily life.
