About Wanda
Wanda Olugbala is a Licensed Master Social Worker with 30 years of clinical experience. She has worked for decades helping people who give a lot to others and feel worn down. Wanda focuses on practical steps that restore energy and improve everyday life.
Her work is collaborative and direct. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods and other approaches to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change routines that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build clearer boundaries and better self-care habits so stress and burnout become easier to manage. Wanda also addresses grief, parenting challenges, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, and anger. She helps people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, autism spectrum concerns, blended family issues, and fertility or caregiver stress.
Her practice includes support for identity topics such as gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns. In sessions Wanda listens for patterns coming from family of origin, work demands, or life transitions. She uses solution-focused conversations and narrative work to reframe old stories and try small experiments that change day-to-day life.
Progress is measured in skills and small wins rather than in labels. Clients meet with Wanda by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. She practices in Michigan and provides services in English.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site.

How Wanda’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when stress, avoidance, or life transitions make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage anger.Deciding on a method is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques to see what fits. This is a collaborative process where strategies are adjusted based on what helps you make steady, practical changes.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you have face-to-face conversations and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a focused check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day or to follow up between sessions. These options offer flexibility to work on boundaries, stress, and anger in a way that fits your schedule.
