About Thandi
Thandi Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, skills-based therapy for parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship challenges. She brings eight years of counseling experience and a direct style that pairs education with empathic feedback. Thandi works from Alabama and conducts sessions in English.
Her background started in substance abuse case management and moved into clinical leadership, giving her experience with people at different stages of recovery.
Background and approach
That early work shaped a straightforward approach: teach clear skills, practice them, and talk about what gets in the way. This makes sessions feel actionable rather than vague. Thandi uses a mix of therapies that help people change thoughts, build skills, and commit to values.
She often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and address addictive behavior. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep the work grounded in each person's goals. Parents often seek her out for help with communication, blended family challenges, and parenting stress.
She helps parents sort priorities, set manageable routines, and repair strained relationships with clear steps they can try between sessions. Sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Thandi uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and tailors plans to each person’s needs and schedule.

Evidence-informed approaches for online parenting support
Thandi often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, whether that means practicing emotion regulation skills, setting parenting routines, or changing patterns that fuel conflict. Sessions mix discussion, exercises, and concrete homework to keep progress steady.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer more frequent, brief touchpoints to review skills and track progress between sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, childcare, and daily life.
