About Thandi
Thandi Wells, LPC, LCPC, holds licenses in Alabama and has eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, and related areas. She describes her work as counseling and coaching and uses direct feedback with client education as part of care.
Wells began her career as a case manager in substance abuse. She progressed to primary therapist and later served as a program director. That background shaped her practical approach to substance-related concerns and co-occurring issues.
Her sessions mix several evidence-informed approaches. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and reality-based techniques to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and everyday behavior. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered methods when they fit the situation.
She emphasizes active skills work in sessions. That includes learning coping strategies for anxiety and mood symptoms, practicing communication skills, and developing relapse prevention plans for addictions. She also addresses parenting, intimacy-related issues, and career stress by translating therapeutic methods into clear steps.
Wells uses straightforward feedback alongside teaching. She frames therapeutic work as coaching at times, focused on building skills for coping with life changes, grief, anger, and issues such as codependency or attachment concerns. Sessions aim to be practical and goal oriented.
People who choose her can expect clear guidance, skills practice, and educational elements. Her background in program leadership and substance care informs how she structures treatment and measures progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action. It helps people manage difficult thoughts and stay engaged with important life directions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills for reducing anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense emotions and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps match skills training, communication work, or values-based action to what the client needs.
