About Tesia
Tesia Wells is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in New York with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with anger, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, parenting stress, and other life changes. Sessions focus on clear, practical ways to reduce reactivity and improve connection with others.
Tesia uses a mix of approaches to match a person's needs. She draws on client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thought and behavior that feed anger and stress. She also works with narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at longstanding themes that shape how someone reacts under pressure.
In sessions she helps people learn specific skills. That can include tracking triggers, practicing different responses, and testing small changes between meetings. She aims to make techniques simple enough to use during real moments of frustration at work or at home.
Tesia pays attention to background factors such as family of origin, culture, and past trauma when those issues matter to the client. She also supports people dealing with addictions, body image concerns, sexual assault and abuse, and military-related issues. Her approach is straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change.
People who choose her often want practical strategies and a chance to understand why their reactions repeat. To begin, clients follow the platform's matching steps and schedule an initial session to set goals and plan next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions let the therapist and client keep that focus while working through current problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active, using exercises and homework to try new responses between sessions. Narrative therapy helps people retell difficult experiences so those stories feel less controlling.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she will suggest starting steps and adapt the plan as progress becomes clear. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all program.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel, or check in more often during stressful periods. They also allow short practical exercises, in-session demonstrations of breathing or grounding, and focused CBT homework that people can try between meetings. Ask about the available session options when you schedule so the format matches your day-to-day needs.
