About Thandi

Thandi Wells draws on an integrative therapy approach rooted in evidence-based methods to help clients build practical skills and make meaningful changes. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with elements of dialectical behavior strategies and client-centered care to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Thandi emphasizes empathic engagement and clear, educational guidance to support clients as they learn healthier coping patterns and greater emotional balance. With eight years of professional experience, Thandi's background includes work in substance abuse services where she advanced from case manager to primary therapist and later to program director.

That path shaped her interest in coaching and helping clients increase resilience, improve relationships, and manage life transitions. She holds LPC and LCPC licensure in Alabama, which informs a practice focused on collaboration, skill-building, and helping people reclaim a sense of empowerment in daily life.

Integrating Approaches Online for Practical Change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping clients clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior by teaching concrete skills for reframing thoughts and changing responses, which is helpful for depression, anxiety, and many coping concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating a space where clients direct the pace and focus of work while the therapist supports growth and self-discovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may blend elements from different models to create a tailored plan that emphasizes skill-building, values-guided actions, and improved emotional regulation.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, access care from home, and maintain continuity as life circumstances shift while working toward practical, measurable progress.
