About Takindra
Takindra Worles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions. She brings nine years of clinical experience to counseling and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Her sessions focus on clear goals and everyday strategies.
She listens with a client-centered stance and uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills.
Background and approach
Conversations tend to be direct and supportive, with steps that can be practiced between sessions. Takindra also addresses a wide range of related concerns. These include problems with communication, feeling isolated, guilt or shame, impulsivity, substance use issues, and shifts in mood or life purpose.
She works with people facing grief, family difficulties, and midlife transitions as well. Her style blends encouragement with practical tools. She may use motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and solution-focused techniques to map quick, attainable steps.
The aim is to increase confidence and promote clearer decision making in daily life. Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their needs.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Takindra often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so people can explore what matters most to them and set goals that feel right. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical exercises to change behavior and mood, which can be practiced between sessions.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation and coping skills are needed. DBT teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be rehearsed during or between remote sessions. Finding the best fit usually happens together - she will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest approaches to try in the early sessions.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, live chat works well for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief check-ins and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while using methods that support progress.
