Tekesha Bland , LPC

Tekesha Bland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with over 15 years of experience providing mental health care. She has worked with a wide range of clients and brings substantial experience treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, codependency, anger issues, relationship concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties. Her background also includes supporting people who have experienced trauma and abuse, along with extensive work in addiction treatment and co-occurring disorders.

Tekesha emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental approach that honors each person’s dignity. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with humanistic, client-centered principles to create individualized treatment plans. That means she helps clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns while also attending to each person’s values, strengths, and goals. Her practice addresses a broad set of issues including stress, self-esteem, grief, parenting, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career changes, and coping with life transitions.

Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, Tekesha tailors therapy to the client’s specific needs and preferences. She accepts new clients and collaborates with them to set practical goals and develop skills for everyday life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Tekesha often integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic environment where clients explore their values and strengths and feel heard; it helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. CBT involves identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive or self-destructive behaviors, which can be useful for mood instability, difficulty regulating anger, and some addiction-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tekesha collaborates with each client to determine which combination of strategies fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to individual goals.
