About Tekesha
Tekesha Bland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, grief, and trauma and abuse. She also works with concerns such as self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger, career shifts, and ADHD.
Her usual approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered methods and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, testing alternatives, and building practical skills to respond differently in daily life. She uses motivational interviewing techniques when change feels difficult.
Tekesha has a long background in addiction treatment and helping with co-occurring disorders. That experience informs how she supports people working through relapse risk, cravings, and the emotional fallout of substance use. She also has experience with trauma and abuse and brings trauma-focused ideas into care when relevant.
In sessions she aims to be straightforward and collaborative. She helps people set concrete goals, try small experiments, and track what works. Expect a plan that focuses on specific problems and step-by-step strategies rather than vague talk.

How CBT, client-centered care and DBT ideas work online
Tekesha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and habits, test new responses, and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Client-centered therapy means sessions emphasize the individual's goals and perspectives, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying to help the client decide next steps. Dialectical behavior therapy elements focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for anger, relationship strain, and strong mood swings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tekesha will collaborate with each person to identify what methods fit their goals and daily life. That might mean starting with CBT techniques, adding DBT skills, or using motivational interviewing when someone is ambivalent about change.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit care into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins on tough days, and reduce travel time so therapy can happen between work or family commitments. Talk with her during the matching process about timing and practical needs so sessions can be arranged to match your routine.
