About Tesia

Tesia Wells is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in New York with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, depression, anxiety, addictions, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Tesia focuses on clear, practical work. She listens for what’s happening in daily life and helps people develop skills they can use between sessions. That might mean learning ways to lower reactivity, changing patterns that keep resentment alive, or building routines that support sleep and eating.

Her approach draws from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques alongside psychodynamic and narrative ideas. She uses conversation to uncover recurring patterns, then tests small behavior changes to see what helps. Expect straightforward feedback and skill practice rather than vague reassurance.

Tesia also addresses family of origin issues, body image, fatherhood concerns, and military-related stress. She helps people name how past experience shows up now, and then tries different ways of responding. Practical coaching around money and parenting is part of her work when those stressors come up.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; fees vary with location. To begin, a prospective client follows the site flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. This structure is meant to get to useful work quickly.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person is experiencing. It helps people feel heard and often clarifies what they want to change in relationships or daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. That approach is useful for anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and mood changes.

The right approach is something to find together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust based on what helps. Decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative and reviewed as work progresses.

The original biography does not list specific session formats for online care, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use conversation, worksheets, and behavior experiments during remote sessions so practical skill practice continues between meetings.
