About Tenesha
Tenesha Jeffery is a licensed clinician in Maryland with five years of professional experience. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and uses that background to guide straightforward, practical care. She invites people to take the first step and says starting therapy often takes real courage.
Tenesha focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also pays attention to communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress.
How Tenesha works
Sessions aim to address the issues that feel most urgent to each person. Her style is warm and client-centered. She creates a space where people can talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
Conversations are guided by the client’s needs and pace rather than a preset script. Tenesha draws on practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help manage daily symptoms and build new skills. She also uses motivational interviewing to support changes people want to make, such as reducing substance use or improving routines.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and simple steps that fit into everyday life. She helps people practice new ways of handling stress, speaking up in relationships, and building confidence. Her approach is collaborative and focused on what works for each person.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead to build trust and clarity. Online sessions give space for open conversation and help people name what matters most in their life.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. In video or phone sessions Tenesha can coach new skills, set small homework tasks, and review progress together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tenesha will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to current needs and real-life schedules.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction and skill coaching, while phone sessions are lower bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between visits or to use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it possible to receive consistent support without major travel or schedule disruption.
