Dr. Wanda Woodward, LPC-MHSP

Dr. Wanda Woodward is a licensed professional counselor (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee. She brings 18 years of clinical experience and a doctorate in psychology to help adults who are coping with stress and anxiety and related concerns. She works with adults on issues such as depression, PTSD, ADHD, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles.

Her approach centers on the client and draws on psychodynamic ideas about how early experiences shape current feelings and patterns. She also uses attachment perspectives and Jungian concepts to look at deeper themes of meaning, purpose, and the sense of self. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns that keep someone stuck and finding practical steps to move forward.

Before her counseling career, she spent over 15 years in human resources at large corporations. That workplace experience informs how she helps people manage job stress, career transitions, and the emotional toll of high-pressure environments. She supports clients in developing clear strategies for work-related concerns and life balance.

Her style is calm and nonjudgmental. She aims to create a space where clients can talk through painful memories and current stresses. The work combines listening for patterns, exploring emotions, and developing small, realistic changes that help daily functioning.

Dr. Woodward also writes about the inner life and the search for meaning. She integrates spiritual and philosophical perspectives when clients bring those topics into sessions and helps them connect those ideas to their healing and goals.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns, practice different ways of relating, and try new responses to stress and intimacy issues.

Client-centered therapy centers on understanding each person's experience without judgment, and helping clients find their own goals. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name practical next steps for daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single style. This helps tailor the pacing and focus of sessions to what feels most useful.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports working on workplace stress, relationship patterns, and daily coping strategies from wherever you are, while the therapist and client decide together how to structure sessions for best progress.
