About Tesia
Tesia Wells is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of clinical experience. She offers calm, practical guidance for people facing relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Tesia writes and speaks plainly in sessions and aims to make therapy feel doable for busy lives. She blends client-centered listening with structured approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and narrative work.
That means sessions alternate between careful listening and concrete tools to change thoughts, moods, or patterns that are getting in the way. Tesia also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand recurring patterns that trace back to earlier life experiences.
Her practice covers a wide range of struggles including parenting stress, body image, family of origin issues, fatherhood concerns, and trauma related to sexual assault. She also addresses multicultural concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, money and financial stress, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, and coping with life changes.
Tesia uses a straightforward, collaborative style. She helps people set manageable goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track small changes over time.
Sessions are intended to be practical and tailored to each person’s needs. Working from New York as a licensed professional, Tesia offers session formats that fit varied schedules.
She supports people who want conversational processing, problem-solving strategies, or coaching-style guidance to move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person as an individual. The therapist follows the client’s pace, reflects what matters most, and helps people name their priorities and strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily life through practical exercises and homework.
Psychodynamic ideas help uncover recurring patterns that may come from earlier relationships or life experiences. This work can clarify why certain problems repeat and open up new ways to respond to them.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as those goals change over time.
Online formats offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls replicate in-person conversation and allow deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send notes or questions between sessions and can be useful for ongoing coaching-style support.
