About Tekesha
Tekesha Bland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and anger. Her practice also includes addiction and co-occurring disorders. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals rather than jargon.
Tekesha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Client-Centered ideas. She helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and build new patterns of behavior. She teaches concrete strategies for handling anger, managing cravings, and reducing anxiety.
Her background includes long-term work in addiction treatment and supporting clients after trauma or abuse. That experience informs a steady, straightforward style in sessions. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, and work-related pressure.
In a session she listens, asks focused questions, and suggests exercises to try between meetings. Those tasks might include tracking mood and triggers, testing new responses to difficult situations, or practicing brief mindfulness skills. Progress is measured by what people can do differently in day-to-day life.
Tekesha encourages collaborative planning. She discusses options like CBT, DBT skills, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness rather than prescribing one route. People leave sessions with simple, practical steps to manage anger, move through change, and make steady progress.
How Tekesha uses evidence-based approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a constructive relationship. It involves the therapist reflecting what a person says and helping them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific exercises for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and is useful for people who need step-by-step tools for strong emotions.Finding the right approach is a shared task. Tekesha will discuss options like CBT, DBT skills work, and mindfulness during early sessions. Together the client and therapist decide which methods fit the client’s goals, strengths, and daily life needs rather than committing to a single path up front.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people try techniques between meetings and bring real situations from everyday life into discussion. Ask about the current session formats when you book so practical arrangements match your needs.
