About Thandi
Thandi Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience based in Alabama. She works with young adults and other adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship issues, and career and life transitions. Thandi also lists support for LGBT concerns, ADHD, parenting stress, grief, and intimacy-related problems among her focus areas.
Before becoming an LPC Thandi started as a case manager in substance abuse. She progressed into primary therapist roles and later served as a program director. That background gives her practical experience with addiction, relapse prevention, and coordinating care across services.
Thandi combines straightforward talk with client education. She uses cognitive behavioral approaches alongside dialectical behavior techniques to help people build skills and manage difficult emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and client-centered methods also shape her sessions to help people clarify values and take steps that matter to them.
Sessions tend to pair skills practice with direct feedback and problem-solving. Thandi describes a style that includes empathetic confrontation and teaching so clients leave with concrete tools. She also draws on elements of the Gottman Method when addressing relationship communication and conflict.
Her work often focuses on practical changes a person can make in daily life. That includes managing work or study stress, coping after a breakup or move, handling family conflict, and addressing substance use patterns. Prospective clients who want to start can follow the platform steps to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for people facing life transitions, avoidance, or uncertainty about direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills and can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are volatile.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Thandi will work collaboratively to identify which methods match a person's goals and daily needs. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than prescribing a single path from the start.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, early careers, or busy schedules. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, and make it simpler to attend sessions during breaks or between classes. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT exercises to an online setting so clients practice skills and track progress in everyday life.
