About Thandi
Thandi Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC with eight years of experience. She practices in Alabama and focuses on helping people manage strong emotions, including anger, and navigate life changes. Her style blends direct guidance with empathy to help clients build day-to-day coping skills.
Her background began in substance abuse services where she worked as a case manager and moved into roles as a primary therapist and program director.
Background and approach
That hands-on experience shaped a practical approach to counseling. Sessions often include clear teaching about skills and straightforward feedback aimed at real-world progress. Thandi draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change reactions.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and focus action. These methods translate into simple steps people can try between sessions. She offers support for a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, and ADHD.
Thandi also helps people work through family-of-origin problems, codependency, communication struggles, and feelings of isolation. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It can help with anger, depression, and life transitions by shifting attention to purposeful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts that drive difficult feelings and teaches practical strategies to change behavior and reactions. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and habits that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication, which can be helpful when anger or relationship conflict is a concern.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try out methods, and adjust plans based on what helps. That way the work reflects individual needs, preferences, and real-world demands rather than fitting everyone into one model.
Online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a better fit for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when writing things out feels easier. These options provide flexibility so people can use the format that best fits their schedule and daily routine.
