About Thandi
Thandi Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with eight years of practice based in Alabama. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, anger, and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients at this time.
Wells began her career as a case manager in substance abuse and moved into roles as a primary therapist and program director. That background shapes how she approaches addiction and co-occurring concerns. She names cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior approaches, and reality-based techniques among the ways she guides people.
Her style mixes direct feedback with education. She helps people learn specific skills to manage frustration, reduce reactive responses, and rebuild trust after conflict. Practical exercises and skill practice are common parts of her sessions. She also works on communication patterns that keep resentment and tension alive.
Thandi integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas by helping clients notice what matters and choose actions that align with their values. She uses elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work, focusing on interaction patterns and repair strategies. Clients can expect short, practical takeaways to use between meetings.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and choosing actions that align with those values. It helps when anger or stress gets in the way of priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing reactive behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to reduce intense reactions and improve coping.Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Expect a mix of skill teaching, in-session practice, and suggestions for exercises to use between meetings.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family schedules, shorten a check-in when time is tight, or use less bandwidth when video is difficult. Many clients find remote sessions help bring therapy into day-to-day life while keeping work toward better emotional control practical and focused.
