About Tekesha
Tekesha Bland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addiction, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her work also includes support for parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, and coping with life changes.
Her style is direct and respectful. She approaches each person without judgment and works to create a safe space for honest conversation. Tekesha listens for what matters most to each person and shapes sessions around those priorities.
Tekesha draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside a client-centered perspective. That means she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits while also giving them room to lead the conversation about what they need. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness strategies are woven in when they fit the goals.
She has extensive experience in addiction treatment and in supporting people with co-occurring conditions like mood disorders and substance use. Tekesha also supports people dealing with anger, codependency, ADHD, career stress, compassion fatigue, and sleep or eating concerns.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer coping skills. Tekesha works collaboratively to build plans that match a person’s life and responsibilities. To begin, she asks questions about current needs and develops a tailored approach over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In an online conversation this means the therapist reflects concerns, asks open questions, and helps people set the pace of work toward parenting, relationship, or coping goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions can teach simple exercises for challenging unhelpful thoughts and building new habits that reduce anxiety, depression, and stress in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. When used online it can provide step-by-step coaching on skills for managing anger, impulsive behavior, or strong emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with listening and then adding CBT tools, mindfulness practices, or motivational interviewing to support change.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and goals.
