About Thandi

Thandi Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Alabama. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, ADHD, and relationship concerns.

Thandi began her career as a case manager in substance abuse and moved into roles as a primary therapist and program director. That background shaped a practical approach that blends coaching with therapy.

Background and approach

She emphasizes skill-building and clear, honest feedback to help clients make changes. In sessions she often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage intense emotions. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and a client-centered stance to help people clarify values and build committed action.

Thandi works with a wide range of issues including grief, parenting stress, intimacy problems, career transitions, and co-occurring mental health and substance concerns. She also addresses topics such as body image, attachment difficulties, codependency, and isolation. Her style balances directness with empathy.

She aims to teach tools clients can use between sessions and to support realistic goals. Therapy is offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Thandi draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try new behaviors that reduce distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping problems. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for intense emotions and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thandi talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they pick methods to test, then adjust based on what fits and what produces practical change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and flexible. Video sessions let the therapist and client use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking.
