About Tenisha
LMFT, Florida-licensed marriage and family therapist with 14 years of experience. Tenisha Pettus focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem, addiction, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses workplace strain, caregiver stress, and LGBT-related topics. Sessions are presented as a place to talk openly about thoughts and feelings.
Tenisha keeps language direct and practical during sessions. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Systemic Therapy to help people identify patterns and try different responses. Conversations aim to surface what is getting in the way and then work on small, concrete steps to change day-to-day behavior.
She supports people dealing with blended family challenges, divorce and separation, infidelity, and substance issues. Sexual matters such as sexual dysfunction, body image, kink and BDSM culture are included in her focus areas. Tenisha also helps with social anxiety, career concerns, young adult issues, and compassion fatigue for caregivers.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Expect to name the problem, look at how it shows up in daily life, and practice manageable tools between meetings. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want to change habits like substance use or other addictive behaviors.
Her work reflects 14 years of professional practice as a Florida LMFT. People can begin by completing the site's matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial appointment. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Tenisha uses CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Systemic Therapy online
Tenisha draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and social anxiety by breaking concerns into small, manageable steps.Motivational Interviewing is used to support people who want to change habits such as substance use or other addictive behaviors. It focuses on the person's own goals and builds motivation in short, practical conversations.
Systemic Therapy looks at relationships and patterns between people. It helps when family dynamics, blended family issues, infidelity, or workplace relationships affect how someone feels and acts.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made as needed based on how the work feels and what produces useful change.

It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that fit a lunch break or evening routine. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and between-session tasks to an online setting so people can practice strategies in daily life.
