About Thandi
Thandi Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Alabama with eight years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship and family issues, and other challenges like self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and clients outside the United States are not accepted.
Bringing an early background in substance abuse case management, she moved into roles as a primary therapist and later a program director. That path gave her hands-on experience with addiction, co-occurring conditions, and the systems that affect recovery. She uses practical strategies to help people recognize patterns that came from childhood and from their family of origin, and how those patterns show up now.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with dialectical behavior ideas and client-centered listening. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and elements of the Gottman Method when relevant. In sessions she combines direct feedback with teaching skills people can use between meetings.
Thandi frames work as both counseling and coaching when appropriate, aiming to help clients develop clearer boundaries, communication skills, and emotional regulation. She addresses issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, blended family problems, and caregiver stress without making assumptions about anyone's past.
People can expect straightforward talk, behavioral tools, and practice assignments. To start, the usual path is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the platform's booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Thandi frequently draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her clinical work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and accepting difficult thoughts while taking committed actions; it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and getting unstuck. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which suits mood, anxiety, and many day-to-day problems.She also uses client-centered principles in sessions, offering listening and reflection while collaborating on goals. Choosing the right approach is part of the first weeks of work. The therapist and client will discuss what matches the client's situation, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as needed in a collaborative way.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help clients practice skills between meetings and integrate changes into daily life without promising any particular format.
