About Tesia
Tesia Wells is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 15 years of clinical experience based in New York. She works with relationship and family concerns along with anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and issues related to intimacy and identity. Sessions are presented in straightforward terms so people can focus on practical changes rather than jargon.
Her approach centers on listening closely and helping people name patterns that came from their family of origin. She uses client-centered work to understand what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep difficulties in place.
Tesia combines narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at how personal stories and early relationships shape current choices. In practice she talks through what happened, what keeps repeating, and what small steps could feel manageable. She also addresses topics like body image, fatherhood concerns, financial strain, and multicultural issues when they intersect with family patterns.
Sessions are aimed at concrete skills and clearer understanding. She supports people working through grief, managing anger, coping with life changes, and dealing with addictions or sleep and eating concerns. The tone is direct and practical, with attention to everyday responsibilities.
People who come for help often want clearer boundaries, better communication, or relief from recurring reactions rooted in childhood roles. Tesia helps identify those patterns and test different ways of responding. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so they can decide what matters most. It helps when someone needs space to sort their own priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers clear exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try approaches that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as sessions progress.
