How Tekesha’s approaches work online
Tekesha frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on clear, skill-based steps such as tracking moods, testing assumptions, and learning new coping strategies.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions responsive to each person's pace and priorities. That approach emphasizes listening, validation, and collaborating on goals so therapy feels personally relevant. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are sometimes added to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tekesha will talk with clients about their needs and try methods that suit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and checks in about what is and isn’t helpful so the plan stays practical and focused.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, thought records, and homework reminders between sessions. These options give flexibility for therapy to fit into busy lives.
