About Tesia
Tesia Wells is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in New York with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with relationship concerns, grief, parenting questions, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and related areas such as body image and family of origin problems.
She uses a mix of approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Sessions focus on practical skills and talking through current problems. Tesia encourages clients to try different ways of responding and to practice new habits between meetings.
Her background includes long experience in outpatient settings where she completed assessment and planned interventions over time. That experience informs goal-focused work on mood, sleep, eating, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people coping with life changes and with issues connected to veteran and armed forces experiences and financial strain.
Tesia integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and narrative approaches. She also draws on existential and psychodynamic ideas when those perspectives help make sense of patterns and values. Work tends to be conversational and skill-oriented, with attention to how past relationships shape present choices.
Sessions proceed with clear goals and practical steps. Clients are invited to report what helps and what does not. The pace and emphasis are adjusted based on feedback and progress.
How Tesia’s approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people notice automatic thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. It is practical and goal-focused, useful for worries, low mood, sleep and eating concerns, and patterns that keep repeating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s perspectives and priorities, and is used to build a collaborative working relationship and clearer goals.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tesia will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before, then recommend a way of working. Decisions about pace and methods are made together so sessions match the person’s needs and energy level.
