Tekesha Bland, LPC

Tekesha Bland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, respectful presence and focuses on real-life problems like stress and anxiety. Her style is straightforward and person-focused, aimed at helping people find practical ways to feel a bit steadier day to day.

She has worked with people dealing with depression, bipolar challenges, addictions, and co-occurring disorders. Tekesha also supports those affected by trauma and abuse and helps people manage anger, grief, sleep and eating concerns, and relationship strains. Parenting stress, career pressures, and transitions are also within her practice areas.

Tekesha blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy in her sessions. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, while centering each person’s own goals and values. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing to build coping skills and sustain change.

Sessions focus on practical tools and clear steps tailored to each person. She emphasizes respect, nonjudgment, and collaboration when shaping a treatment plan. The aim is to make steady progress on whatever is most pressing, whether that’s anxiety, addiction recovery, or rebuilding confidence.

People who are ready to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their life. Tekesha works in Texas and conducts sessions in English.

How Tekesha Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Tekesha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change thought patterns that feed anxiety and stress. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions focus on each person's goals and values. This approach emphasizes listening, respect, and shaping the plan around what matters most to the client. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices are often incorporated to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Tekesha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals. That decision is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.
