About Tenesha
Tenesha Jeffery, MD, LCPC, is a licensed counselor in Maryland with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and those coping with low self-esteem or depression. She also addresses relationship strain and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.
Her approach centers on building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than long lectures.
Background and approach
She emphasizes listening first and then working together to try new ways of coping. Tenesha uses a mix of client-centered work and skills-based tools. That means she pays attention to each person's story and also offers specific techniques to manage worry, mood, and difficult reactions.
Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure how to change. In the therapy room she aims to be direct and compassionate. Conversations often include problem-solving, practicing new responses, and checking what’s working.
She encourages small, achievable steps that build confidence over time. Clients meet by choosing the format that fits their day. Tenesha supports video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to keep therapy adaptable.
The goal is steady progress on issues like anxiety, communication problems, addiction concerns, and post-traumatic stress.
How Tenesha’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's unique experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathic responses, and helps people clarify what they want to change or improve. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical techniques to manage anxiety and low mood. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, brings skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, which can help when reactions feel overwhelming.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tenesha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. Sessions include regular check-ins to see what is helping and to adjust the plan together.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework, or when typing helps process thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to continue progress between longer sessions.
