About Takindra
Takindra Worles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her way of working is straightforward and collaborative.
She aims to help clients find calmer, more manageable ways to handle strong emotions. She uses client-centered methods to listen and build trust, then brings in cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thought patterns.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotions feel overwhelming or impulsive. Sessions often include clear strategies for handling anger, improving communication, and reducing day-to-day stress. Her background includes nine years of clinical practice in Tennessee and a focus on a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, addiction, family problems, and feelings of isolation.
She draws on this experience to tailor plans to each person’s life and goals. The focus is on small, practical steps that add up over time. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where the therapist listens first and suggests tools second.
Work may include skill-building, short-term problem solving, and longer-term planning. The aim is better coping, clearer choices, and more confidence in handling life’s demands. Communication is plain and direct, with an emphasis on skills people can use between sessions.
Progress is measured by real changes in daily life rather than labels or jargon.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy starts with listening. The therapist focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a respectful relationship. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes what comes next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors. Online sessions often use short exercises and homework to change thought patterns that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It can be helpful when strong emotions lead to impulsive actions or relationship problems and is often taught as simple, repeatable skills.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will ask about goals, what has worked before, and daily life demands. Together, they decide whether to focus on skills, short-term problem solving, or deeper work over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework reviews, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, commute gaps, or a hectic family schedule.
