About Tekesha
Tekesha Bland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical strategies that parents and adults can use to manage stress, mood, and day-to-day challenges. Her style is direct and respectful, aiming to make therapy feel useful from the first session.
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered skills to listen, reflect, and build on each person's strengths.
Background and approach
Together these approaches help with anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and sleep or eating concerns. Bland has a long background in addiction treatment and co-occurring disorders. She also supports people coping with trauma, abuse, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Her work includes helping those facing career pressure, relationship strain, and the stresses of parenting. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical tools. That might mean learning coping skills, trying short behavior changes, or setting small steps toward better routines.
She adjusts plans to match what each person needs and what actually fits their life. Clients can expect a nonjudgmental space where their experience is heard and respected. Bland aims to help people build skills for better emotion management, clearer decision making, and steadier day-to-day functioning.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and supported while they set personal goals and try small changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and parenting stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and reduce reactive behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaboration means techniques are chosen to fit the client's needs and daily life, not the other way around.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video helps recreate face-to-face interaction, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit brief check-ins or when written reflection is useful. These options let people fit care around work, parenting, and other routines while keeping therapy focused and practical.
