About Tekesha

Tekesha Bland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 15 years of experience. She draws on practical therapy methods to help people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, or mood changes. Her work is direct and down-to-earth, aimed at helping clients find clearer ways to cope and manage daily life.

She has a long history supporting people facing trauma and abuse, addiction and co-occurring concerns, and challenges with self-esteem and relationships.

Background and approach

She also helps clients who are navigating grief, career transitions, parenting strain, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. Sessions focus on what a person needs now and next, not on labels or long lectures. Tekesha blends client-centered principles with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness tools.

That means she listens first, then helps people test small changes in thinking and behavior. She uses mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained. Her style is respectful and nonjudgmental.

She works with each client to build a plan that fits their goals and day-to-day realities. For many people this looks like clear strategies, short-term goals, and steady tracking of progress. Tekesha welcomes straightforward conversations about symptoms, routines, and what has or has not helped before.

She aims to make therapy useful and practical so clients can try ideas between sessions and notice real shifts over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Tekesha uses client-centered care, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation starts with the person's priorities and values, and the therapist follows the client's lead while offering support. CBT focuses on practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and attention-related challenges. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Tekesha will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which tools to try, adjust plans over time, and track progress so the work stays relevant to real life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth sessions that include nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between appointments, do shorter coaching-style exchanges, or work through small steps on a busy day. These formats add flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, and family obligations.
