Background and approach
Conversations often include skill-building for coping, communication, and handling strong emotions such as anger. Tekisha draws from several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also integrates attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions.
Client-centered methods guide sessions so the person's goals lead the process. This mix supports work on relationship concerns, ADHD, grief, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. Tekisha practices in Georgia and works with adults on issues like trauma, relationship strain, and coping with major life events.

How practical approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, motivation, and managing anger by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication during heated moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tekisha partners with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. Together they review what helps, try techniques in session, and adjust strategies based on what feels most effective and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and texting make brief check-ins and ongoing coaching possible between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, work breaks, or when shorter, focused support is preferred.
