Thandi Wells, LPC, LCPC

Thandi Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of experience offering counseling and coaching in Alabama. She focuses on practical help for stress and anxiety while also addressing concerns like depression, addiction, grief, relationship problems, and parenting strain.

She started as a case manager in substance abuse and moved into roles as a primary therapist and program director. That background informs a practical approach to care that blends teaching skills with honest, compassionate feedback.

Thandi uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. She commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation, and client-centered listening to make space for each person’s goals. She also brings elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and the Gottman Method into work with relationship and life-goal issues.

In sessions she focuses on skill building and clear steps people can use between meetings. She talks through coping strategies, communication tools, and ways to manage urges or cravings when addiction or anger are involved. Parents are supported with practical strategies for stress and family dynamics.

Her style balances warm listening with direct, educational guidance. People who want clear tools and a straightforward plan to manage anxiety, cope with life changes, or rebuild after loss may find her approach helpful.

How therapy approaches guide online care

Thandi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy asks people to clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values, often helping with anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they shape a plan that may combine techniques from different approaches to match the person's needs.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and let people use strategies between meetings in their normal routines. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when life is hectic, while others set aside a longer block to dig into deeper issues. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and tools used in ACT and CBT to the online setting so clients keep progressing between sessions.
