About Tenesha
Tenesha Jeffery is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland with five years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, low motivation, and depression.
Her work is straightforward and practical. She listens to what a person brings and then focuses on steps that can reduce distress and improve everyday functioning. Sessions emphasize noticing thoughts and habits that keep problems going, and trying different ways of responding to them.
Tenesha uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered techniques. That means she balances skills practice with a focus on the person's own goals and perspective. Motivational Interviewing is also part of her approach for people struggling with substance use or motivation to change.
People can expect clear, short-term strategies and check-ins on progress. She helps clients practice new skills between sessions and reviews what works or needs adjusting. The aim is to make changes that can fit into daily life.
Her background includes five years of direct clinical work in Maryland as an LCPC. She conducts sessions in English. To start, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online booking flow.
How Tenesha applies CBT and related methods online
Tenesha works from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and try alternative responses. CBT sessions often include short exercises, thought records, and practicing small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills training focuses on practical techniques for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her way of working too, which means she pays attention to each person's goals and viewpoint and uses those as the basis for choosing strategies.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Tenesha checks in about what is working, adapts strategies, and helps set concrete short-term goals based on the client's needs and preferences. She aims to match methods to goals rather than assuming one approach fits everyone.
If you plan to work online, confirm the session formats available before booking since formats were not specified in her biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time for appointments. These practical benefits often help people use skills between sessions and keep consistent momentum.
