About Thandi Wells
Thandi Kenyetta Wells grew up in Montevallo, Alabama, and brings a practical, growth-oriented approach to counseling and coaching. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and holder of an LCPC-level license, she draws on experience working with children, adolescents, couples, and families to help clients develop skills for lasting change.
Her career began as a case manager in substance abuse services, and she progressed from primary therapist to program director, gaining hands-on experience with treatment planning, client support, and program oversight. That background informs her work with people navigating addiction, relationship challenges, and complex life transitions.
Thandi emphasizes a balance of empathy and directness, describing her style as one of empathetic confrontation paired with client education. She frequently integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and reality-based techniques to help clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and pursue a life marked by greater peace and freedom.
Committed to supporting personal growth, she offers practical coaching alongside counseling to help clients move from insight to action and sustain meaningful change over time.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Thandi often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is effective for managing anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors through structured strategies and skill-building. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness - helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns that feel overwhelming. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she may use to help clients clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed action toward a meaningful life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Thandi works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people access care. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose formats that fit their schedules and comfort levels. This range of options makes it easier to maintain consistency in treatment, integrate therapy into busy lives, and receive support from licensed professionals without the need to travel.
