Takindra Worles, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), is a Tennessee-based therapist with nine years of experience helping individuals and families navigate emotional and life transitions. She offers therapy for concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes, and she also works with people facing relationship and family problems, substance use challenges, mood disorders, isolation or loneliness, impulsivity, guilt and shame, communication difficulties, and issues related to control and abandonment.

Her approach is warm, interactive, and aimed at empowering each person she meets.

Takindra supports clients through collaborative work that focuses on measurable progress and meaningful change, and she welcomes people who are ready to take the next step toward improved well-being.

Online Therapy and Therapeutic Approaches with Takindra Worles

Takindra Worles integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet each client's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration so the client leads the pace and direction of work while the therapist offers support and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or low mood and teaches practical techniques to change those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process - Takindra works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adapts techniques over time so treatment stays relevant and effective for the client.

Online therapy with Takindra is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support, practice new skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care even when life is busy or circumstances change.
