Dr. LaQuanda Wiggins, LPC

Dr. LaQuanda Wiggins is a licensed professional counselor who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She writes treatment plans that connect directly to daily life. Conversations aim to be straightforward and useful from the first session.

She has eight years of experience working with people facing domestic violence, grief, self-esteem struggles, and work-related stress. She also supports those coping with relationship strain, anger, caregiver burden, and major life changes. Her background includes addressing post-traumatic stress and the aftereffects of physical or emotional abuse.

Her counseling style is warm and interactive. Sessions are shaped around what the client brings, and the therapist adapts tools and exercises to fit each person. Common techniques include thinking about patterns that keep problems going and practicing small steps that change how a person responds to stress.

Dr. Wiggins blends several approaches so she can match methods to a client’s needs. That may mean talking through personal stories, focusing on current goals, or learning practical skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She encourages people to take the first step toward feeling better and offers steady support through the process. Appointments are used to build skills, try new ways of coping, and track what works over time.

How approaches like CBT and client-centered work online

Dr. Wiggins often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression. CBT is focused and action-oriented, which fits well with online sessions and homework between meetings.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's experience and builds a trusting, collaborative relationship. Narrative techniques can be used to reframe personal stories and make sense of traumatic events in a way that supports healing.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dr. Wiggins will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions lean more toward skills training, guided reflection, or solution-focused planning.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send thoughts between sessions, keep momentum on goals, and check in on brief struggles without scheduling a full appointment.
