About Thandi
Thandi Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, addictions, and relationship strains. Thandi began her work as a case manager in substance abuse and progressed into roles with greater responsibility, including primary therapist and program director.
That background gives her firsthand experience with substance-related challenges and with guiding people through systems of care.
Background and approach
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with dialectical behavior tools and acceptance-based ideas. In a typical session she teaches concrete skills for mood and behavior, practices coping strategies, and helps clients clarify values and goals. She pairs direct feedback with supportive listening to keep conversations productive.
Thandi also offers coaching-style guidance when people want actionable steps for life changes or career moves. She pays attention to patterns from family of origin, attachment problems, and issues around shame and guilt that often show up with anxiety and addiction. She holds LPC and LCPC credentials from Alabama and Maine and provides services in English.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking steps that match those values, which can help with anxiety and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical exercises. It often includes homework and skill practice that translate easily to video or messaging formats and works well for anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints. That collaborative planning can include trying a few techniques and adjusting as needed.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and skill demonstration. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or work around bandwidth limits. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to have brief updates, homework check-ins, or written reflections between sessions. These options help people maintain continuity of care while fitting sessions into busy lives.
