About Thandi
Thandi Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, practicing in Alabama with eight years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, and parenting-related struggles. Thandi also lists work with grief, intimacy issues, ADHD, and career or life transitions.
Thandi began her career as a case manager in substance abuse and progressed to roles including primary therapist and program director. That background informs her practical approach to relapse, substance use, and co-occurring issues. She draws on clear, behavior-focused methods rather than abstract theory.
Her style blends client-centered listening with active teaching. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help clarify values and small concrete steps forward.
Thandi also references reality-based approaches and the Gottman Method for relationship work. She offers coaching elements when helpful, such as goal-setting and problem solving. Parents and adults concerned about family dynamics will find straightforward strategies to try between sessions.
Sessions aim to build skills for everyday life. Thandi emphasizes honest feedback alongside education. People can expect direct conversation about patterns, practical tools to practice, and focused steps toward manageable change.
How sessions work
Approaches used in remote sessions
Thandi often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small committed actions toward those values. ACT can help when someone feels stuck or unsure how to move forward from chronic stress or low mood.She also draws heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT provides concrete tools for changing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and many parenting challenges.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on the client’s goals and day-to-day life. The emphasis is on practical skills and on finding what actually helps the person cope and make changes.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied profile, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, and childcare. Online work can also focus on brief skills practice, planning real-world experiments between sessions, and shorter check-ins when schedules are tight.
