Tesia Wells, LMFT

Tesia Wells is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, person-centered care that helps people tackle relationship strain, grief, parenting stresses, anxiety, depression, and other life challenges. Tesia uses clear, direct communication to make space for each person’s story and goals.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with tried methods that help change thinking and behavior. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thought patterns and from narrative and psychodynamic perspectives to understand personal history and meaning. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused, so people leave with concrete steps to try between meetings.

Tesia has worked in outpatient settings and uses structured assessment to shape treatment plans. She encourages clients to develop skills for coping with stress, improving sleep and eating habits, managing anger, and building self-esteem. She also attends to specific concerns like body image, family of origin issues, fatherhood questions, veteran and armed forces issues, money stress, multicultural concerns, and recovery after sexual assault.

People can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental tone in sessions and an emphasis on practical strategies. Tesia helps people identify what matters to them and then crafts a plan that fits each person’s life. Her practice is based in New York and she offers services in English.

To begin, prospective clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Tesia’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person’s own goals. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps them clarify what they want to change or keep. This approach is useful for relationship worries, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and homework to try new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating habits, and stress management.

Narrative Therapy pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves. The therapist helps separate the problem from the person and identify alternative narratives that support healthier choices. This can be useful for trauma, family of origin issues, and body image concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may include mixing approaches over time as new priorities emerge.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or avoiding video when needed. These practical benefits often help people maintain continuity of care while juggling life commitments.
