She creates individualized treatment plans that are tailored to the specific needs and concerns of each client, adjusting methods as progress and priorities evolve.

Throughout her practice Tekesha addresses a wide range of challenges including stress, trauma, bipolar and mood disorders, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Tekesha draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to support clients in an online format. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, accepting environment where the person’s goals and values guide the work; it is useful for building self-awareness, self-esteem, and personal growth. CBT is a practical, skills-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT offers strategies for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and developing distress tolerance skills, which can be especially helpful for mood instability and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tekesha collaborates with clients to identify which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work stays relevant and effective for each individual.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions, while allowing therapists to tailor session formats to the client’s needs.
