About Tesia
Tesia Wells is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help. She brings 15 years of experience to conversations about parenting, relationships, grief, anxiety, and other life stresses. Her style is warm and straightforward so people can get to the issues that matter most quickly.
She uses a mix of approachable therapies to match each person's needs. Sessions often include problem-solving tools, ways to change unhelpful thinking, and space to tell and reframe personal stories.
Background and approach
Tesia emphasizes clear communication and skills people can use between sessions. Many clients come for help with parenting questions, relationship strain, or coping after loss. She also addresses body image, family of origin issues, fatherhood concerns, addiction, and sexual assault and abuse.
Tesia pays attention to multicultural factors and money or work stress that affect everyday life. In practice she blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative exploration, existential questions, and psychodynamic reflection. That variety helps shape plans that fit a person’s situation and values.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each individual’s readiness. Tesia offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Her approach aims to build practical skills, clearer thinking, and stronger emotional understanding so people can move forward with more confidence.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so people can explore what matters most and decide on next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different ideas. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent appointments when life gets hectic.
