About Thandi
Thandi Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, skills-based therapy. She blends straightforward conversation with clear techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and related concerns. Her style aims to make everyday coping more effective and livable.
She trained early in substance abuse services, starting as a case manager and moving into roles as a primary therapist and program director. That background informed her interest in addiction, relapse prevention, and co-occurring problems. Her eight years of experience include hands-on work guiding people through recovery and life transitions.
Thandi uses several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. She often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts, dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation skills, and client-centered methods to prioritize the person’s perspective. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people focus on valued actions.
In sessions she combines education with compassionate challenge. She explains why patterns happen and then practices new skills together. This practical emphasis covers issues such as grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, ADHD, trauma, self-esteem, and managing mood shifts.
Clients can expect clear goals and step-by-step tools. Thandi aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative project. She helps people practice changes that fit daily life and build toward steadier routines and healthier relationships.
How Thandi’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thought patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a team effort. The therapist and client look at goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
