About Pamela
Pamela Wagner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with 10 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, career concerns, and coping with life changes. Pamela also focuses on issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, chronic illness and pain, and panic attacks.
Her background includes work in hospice care, community mental health, and private practice settings. That variety means she has sat with people through big life transitions and long-term struggles. Pamela uses practical talk, listening, and structured techniques to help people manage symptoms and daily challenges.
Pamela draws from several approaches to shape sessions. She uses client-centered work to prioritize each person's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also incorporates EMDR and DBT tools when trauma or emotional regulation are central concerns.
Sessions are conversational but goal-focused. Pamela often blends skills practice, brief exercises, and reflective discussion so people leave with concrete steps. She is open to discussing spiritual beliefs as part of therapy when that matters to the person.
People who come for help often want clearer ways to handle anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or career decisions. Pamela aims to make therapy straightforward and practical, helping people build coping skills and move forward at a realistic pace.
How Pamela’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to each person's perspective and building the work around their priorities. In practice this looks like open conversation, reflective feedback, and letting the client's goals guide the pace and focus of sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to change patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, and career-related decision making by teaching skills for thinking differently and testing small behavior changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. DBT tools such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation are often used when panic, impulsivity, or persistent emotional overwhelm are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pamela will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to use based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT skills and adding EMDR or DBT tools later if trauma or regulation needs emerge.
