Thandi Wells

Thandi Wells, LPC, LCPC offers practical, down-to-earth counseling rooted in connection and skill-building. She focuses on helping people reduce overwhelm and navigate strong emotions. Her approach centers on teaching tools that can be used between sessions to make daily life more manageable.

Thandi draws on eight years of experience in behavioral health. She began as a case manager in substance abuse and moved into clinical roles up to program director. That background informs her work with addiction, mood challenges, anxiety, and anger. Her clinical perspective also includes attention to grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and identity issues such as LGBT concerns.

In sessions she blends several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to shift patterns of thinking and behavior. Dialectical behavior skills help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She also relies on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered practices to support values-based change and a respectful, collaborative relationship.

Thandi emphasizes clear teaching and honest feedback. She describes her style as warm but direct, helping people learn new skills while confronting unhelpful habits. That mix is meant to help clients gain more peace and freedom in everyday life.

She holds credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Alabama. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her practical, skill-focused orientation.

How chosen approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them. It helps when anxiety, depression, or frustration get in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change them. It is often used for anxiety, mood shifts, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and conflict. Those skills are useful when strong reactions or impulsive behavior cause problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting people attend from a quieter spot without arranging transportation. Licensed professionals can still teach CBT exercises, ACT values work, and DBT skills effectively in remote sessions, and the focus remains on practical strategies you can use between meetings.
