About Tekesha
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience, Tekesha Bland focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and related life challenges.
Tekesha uses practical, person-focused approaches. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Client-Centered methods, and also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on clear skills, moments of reflection, and steps clients can try between meetings.
She has worked in addiction treatment and with people facing co-occurring disorders. Tekesha also has experience supporting people with depression, bipolar symptoms, anger, codependency, grief, and parenting stress. She frames challenges in everyday terms and helps clients identify manageable next steps.
In the room she listens without judgment and treats people with dignity and respect. Treatment plans are adjusted to the person and their concerns rather than following one fixed protocol. The process emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies people can use outside sessions.
Tekesha aims to combine problem-focused work with skills practice. That often looks like setting specific goals, practicing coping skills in session, and reviewing what worked afterward. She asks about life context and routines to shape suggestions that fit each person's situation.

How her therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In practice this means sessions start with the client's priorities and move at their pace, which works well for concerns such as relationship stress, grief, and self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear strategies. Online sessions can include short skill practices, homework assignments, and structured problem-solving for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. When used online, DBT-style work often centers on practicing specific techniques and reviewing how they felt and worked between appointments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tekesha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, symptoms, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress and needs change rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people also find virtual meetings useful for practicing skills in real-life routines and keeping momentum between sessions.
