About Thandi
Thandi Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor who blends practical skills with empathic support. She’s based in Alabama and brings eight years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, addiction, and codependency concerns. Thandi uses clear, direct conversation and education to help clients make daily changes that matter.
She began as a case manager in substance abuse and moved into roles as a primary therapist and program director. That background shaped a straightforward approach focused on skill-building and recovery. Sessions often include teaching tools, setting small goals, and checking progress together.
Thandi favors therapies that teach concrete skills. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavioral strategies to manage strong emotions. She also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in each person’s lived experience.
People reach out for help with relationship strain, family and parenting stress, grief, and issues around intimacy. She also supports those coping with trauma, bipolar mood shifts, ADHD, and career or life transitions. Thandi approaches these topics in a practical way aimed at clearer thinking and steadier behavior.
Her style balances empathy with honest feedback. She encourages clients to try specific exercises between sessions. The goal is improved daily functioning, more reliable boundaries, and a greater sense of choice in relationships and recovery.
How Thandi’s approaches translate to online work
Thandi regularly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change what they do when feelings or thoughts get in the way. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking action that matters despite hard feelings, which can help with codependency and life transitions. CBT teaches practical tools to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then recommend which methods to try. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Many people find that remote sessions help them practice skills between meetings and apply tools directly to their everyday routines.
