About Thandi
Thandi Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience based in Alabama. She lists stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting, grief, anger, career changes, bipolar, ADHD, and coaching among the concerns she addresses. Sessions are offered in English.
Thandi began her career as a case manager in substance abuse and moved into direct therapy roles, later serving as a program director. That frontline experience shaped her focus on practical skills and measurable change. Her earlier roles involved work with people facing substance use problems and related life stressors.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method when relationship issues are relevant. She emphasizes clear teaching about skills and uses straightforward feedback during sessions. Expect talk that identifies unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tries new ways of responding.
Thandi describes her style as including what she calls empathetic confrontation paired with client education. In practice that looks like direct observations, practical coping skills, and checking in about what does and does not work. She also incorporates reality-based techniques from her prior clinical work.
Practical matters are handled openly. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Thandi applies therapeutic methods in online sessions
Thandi combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in a practical way. CBT focuses on identifying specific thought patterns and testing new, more helpful behaviors. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress. DBT contributes concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with strong emotional reactions and relationship conflict.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in brief ways to help clients notice values and take committed actions, and uses Client-Centered techniques to keep the conversation grounded in the client's perspective. The therapist will work with each person to decide which mix of methods fits best. Finding the right approach is collaborative - goals, day-to-day challenges, and preferences guide adjustments over several sessions.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Generally, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let clients use video or audio depending on bandwidth and comfort. Licensed professionals tailor session pacing and homework to fit everyday life and commitments.
