About Tekesha

She draws on accessible, practical methods to help people manage stress, mood struggles, addiction, and relationship strain.

She uses client-centered care to listen and build on each person's strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps her clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
How Tekesha works
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness techniques are used to manage strong emotions and increase calmness in daily life. Tekesha has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, and co-occurring addiction concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
Practical tools and clear steps are part of her approach. Treatment plans are tailored to each person's goals rather than a one-size-fits-all program. She blends motivational interviewing with hands-on strategies to help people find motivation and stick with changes.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what will make daily life better. Her practice centers on respectful collaboration. Clients can expect an experienced counselor who listens, offers options, and helps map out achievable next steps.

Online support options
Practical approaches for online therapy and skills work
Tekesha commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, building rapport, and discovering what matters most to each person so goals come from the client's priorities. CBT helps identify thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete strategies to change them, which can make day-to-day life feel easier.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and improve coping. DBT offers step-by-step tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. Mindfulness practices train attention and calm so people can respond more effectively to stress and triggers.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, challenges, and preferences, and will adjust plans as needs change. This makes the work practical and personalized.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skills coaching, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or brief support between sessions. These options help people fit care into busy lives and maintain regular contact with licensed professionals.
