About T'Kea
T'Kea McClendon, LPC, uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on clear, real-world steps that people can try between sessions. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping clients feel more capable when life feels overwhelming.
She draws on six years of experience working with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She listens for strengths that clients already have and builds on those.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - she asks questions, suggests options, and helps clients decide what to try next. Many clients come with mood concerns such as depression or persistent worry. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, blended family adjustments, divorce and separation, and problems tied to family of origin.
She pays attention to guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose as part of whole-person care. T'Kea works from Texas and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients for online work.
Her approach is practical and paced to each person's needs, with an emphasis on safety and steady progress. People who choose her can expect a focus on communication skills, coping strategies, and rebuilding routines that reduce stress. The goal is measurable change over time, using techniques that fit a client's daily life.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Two common evidence-based approaches she uses are skills-based coping strategies and trauma-informed care. Skills-based coping focuses on teaching concrete tools for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing, planning, and small behavior changes that reduce worry. Trauma-informed care centers on pacing, safety, and helping people make sense of difficult experiences without re-traumatizing them.Another approach is practical problem-solving, which breaks down big issues into manageable steps and tests small changes to see what helps. This method is useful for relationship strain, parenting challenges, and caregiver stress because it emphasizes solutions that fit a person’s day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what works and what feels comfortable. That collaborative process helps identify the best mix of tools for each person.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are close to in-person sessions and work well for deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break at work. Live chat and text messaging let clients check in between sessions, share quick updates, or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working toward clear goals.
