Wanda Briggs

Wanda Briggs is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (NC LCMHC 4407) practicing in North Carolina with 21 years of experience. She greets each new client at the start of their journey toward healing, growth, and greater balance with an empathic, person-centered approach.

Wanda works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges related to life changes. She takes time to truly understand each person’s situation and partners with clients to navigate difficult moments - including life transitions, bereavement, and strained relationships.

Her approach is holistic and tailored to the whole person, addressing mind, body, and spirit. Wanda integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with integrative therapy techniques and emphasizes a collaborative therapeutic partnership. She aims to provide an open, nonjudgmental space that encourages authenticity and supports practical solutions for insight and meaningful change.

As the counseling relationship develops, Wanda helps clients set goals, learn about the issues they face, and practice strategies between sessions. She is particularly committed to supporting people working through loss and redefining purpose after significant changes.

Wanda views each client as the expert on their own life and focuses on empowering individuals to pursue personal growth, confidence, and greater emotional and physical wellbeing. While every person is unique, she has found that many clients show notable progress within 6-8 sessions when they engage in the work and apply strategies between meetings.
