About Tekesha
Tekesha Bland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. Tekesha aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk honestly about what matters most to them.
She combines motivational techniques with client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. That means sessions often focus on building personal goals, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing small, concrete changes between meetings. Tekesha also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day coping.
Her background includes substantial work in addiction treatment and supporting people with co-occurring mental health concerns. She has helped individuals address relationship strain, grief, sleep or eating concerns, parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Her experience spans many common life challenges rather than a single problem area.
Tekesha prioritizes individualized plans. She listens for each person's priorities and adapts techniques to fit their needs. Sessions typically involve collaborative goal-setting, skill practice, and regular check-ins on progress.
If someone wants to explore therapy, Tekesha encourages starting with a brief matching process to see if her style fits. From there she helps schedule sessions and outline a plan that suits the person’s goals and daily life.

How Tekesha’s approaches translate to online work
Tekesha uses motivational interviewing to help people identify and strengthen their own reasons for change. This approach focuses on the client's goals and on building motivation through conversation rather than pressure. Client-centered therapy is another core approach and centers on listening, empathy, and tailoring sessions around what the person says matters most.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and to practice different behaviors between sessions. CBT-style work often includes simple exercises and check-ins that can be managed between meetings to track progress and build new habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities change and progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for concise check-ins during a break, reduce travel time, and support continued work when schedules change. Licensed professionals can adapt motivational, client-centered, and CBT techniques to online settings so the focus stays on steady, practical steps toward the client's goals. -
