About Tesia

Tesia Wells is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical problem solving and clear communication. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and to find steps they can use between sessions.

Tesia uses a mix of therapy styles to match each person's needs. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She works with issues like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addictions, and eating and body image concerns. She also supports people coping with relationship and intimacy challenges and parenting or family-of-origin problems.

Her sessions often center on developing everyday skills and tools. That can include strategies to manage strong emotions, ways to rethink unhelpful thoughts, and exercises to improve communication. Tesia explains options in straightforward language and helps set realistic goals for change.

She draws on several psychotherapy methods to fit different situations. Some clients use short-term strategies to handle a crisis. Others look deeper at past patterns that influence today's choices. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness.

Tesia practices in New York and offers services in English. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and is attentive to multicultural and financial stressors that affect wellbeing.

How Tesia’s approaches translate to online care

Tesia commonly uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy methods. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building trust so people can explore what matters most. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady therapeutic relationship. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or disordered eating patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tesia aims to match methods to a person's goals and preferences. She invites clients to weigh options, try approaches, and adjust plans so therapy fits each person’s needs and pace.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people work with a licensed professional in New York even if they live elsewhere. Discuss format options during scheduling so sessions match your routine and goals.
