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 works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, ADHD, and codependency. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings.
Thandi started her career as a case manager in substance abuse and moved into roles as a primary therapist and program director. That background shaped a direct approach that blends teaching and clear feedback. She uses everyday language and concrete steps rather than clinical jargon.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method. In practice this means learning to notice unhelpful thinking, build emotion regulation skills, clarify values, and practice different ways of relating. She combines structured skill work with conversations about patterns that keep people stuck.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in close relationships will find sessions that focus on boundary setting, managing urges to rescue others, and repairing self-worth. Thandi also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, caregiver stress, substance concerns, and the fallout of trauma.
Her style emphasizes clear teaching, honest feedback, and measurable steps. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and plan next steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, codependency patterns, and making choices that match priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change feelings and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and behavior patterns that keep people stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on current struggles and goals. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time rather than assuming one fixed path.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel. It also lets people practice new communication or boundary skills in everyday settings and bring concrete examples to the session. Licensed professionals can work with clients to plan how sessions will fit a client's schedule and needs.
