She offers calm, practical help for people coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship strain, and stress.

Bland blends client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral methods to tailor plans to each person. She listens for what matters to you, then helps build clearer thoughts and steady routines.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill practice, goal setting, and checking what’s helping in real life. She has worked with people facing co-occurring substance use issues and mood disorders like bipolar and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, and career transitions.
Practical coping skills are a frequent focus. Bland uses mindfulness and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational interviewing is used when people are weighing change or working through addictions.
The aim is to find small steps that lead to better daily functioning. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. Tekesha emphasizes respect, individual choice, and collaboration when building a plan.
She encourages straightforward conversation about goals and what a successful therapy process looks like for each person.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Tekesha often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to each person’s concerns. That approach helps clients set goals and shape sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another core method she uses; it breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, is used to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for people who struggle with intense moods.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tekesha collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so therapy stays practical and focused on daily life improvements.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and skill practice while phone sessions can fit a short break or low bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use a written format for reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
