About Thandi

Thandi Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, LCPC) who centers her practice on practical, skills-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and mood concerns.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, she blends evidence-informed methods with compassionate guidance to support people navigating trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. Her background includes work in substance-abuse settings where she progressed from case manager to primary therapist and program director, which shaped her focus on recovery, coping skills, and coaching.

Thandi emphasizes empathy balanced with direct feedback and client education so people can build tools for healthier thinking, communication, and behavior. She also works with issues including parenting, intimacy-related concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a range of family dynamics and identity-related stressors.

Based in Alabama, Thandi offers counseling and coaching aimed at fostering practical change and greater emotional freedom. Her approach combines cognitive behavioral techniques with elements of acceptance and commitment and client-centered care to tailor support around each client’s goals and circumstances.

Practical therapeutic methods for online growth

Thandi draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. She also integrates acceptance and commitment therapy to support people in clarifying values, increasing psychological flexibility, and taking committed action when facing difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Thandi collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, adjusting methods over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to schedule support around busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and use brief or ongoing contacts for coaching and counseling depending on what works best for them.
