About Wanda
Wanda Olugbala is a Licensed Master Social Worker with 30 years of experience supporting people who give much of themselves to others. She focuses on helping those who feel drained by caregiving roles and everyday life demands. Wanda emphasizes practical steps that restore energy and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on finding workable solutions and building on what already helps. Conversations look at relationships and thought patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, grief, or low mood.
Wanda uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-focused work alongside narrative and psychodynamic ideas. She helps clients notice unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and make meaning from difficult experiences. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Practical skill-building is a core part of her work. Clients practice boundary setting, self-care routines, and actions to reduce compassion fatigue. Small changes are treated as real progress and are reinforced in future sessions.
Sessions are offered to people in Michigan who prefer an approach that balances problem solving with attention to life story. Wanda encourages collaboration so each plan fits the client’s routines and responsibilities. Prospective clients are invited to discuss current concerns and goals before deciding on next steps.
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when sleep or stress gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and sleep patterns and offers concrete practices to change them. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe troubling stories about themselves and their roles so daytime habits and rest can shift.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Wanda will work with clients to identify which methods feel most useful based on their goals, routines, and preferences. She adapts tools over time so the plan matches how clients live and rest day to day.
The original profile mentions online sessions, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using real-life routines as part of therapy, such as practicing boundary setting or sleep strategies between meetings.
