About Takindra
Takindra Worles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She uses practical, straightforward methods to support people through life changes and difficult moods. Her approach aims to make everyday coping feel more manageable.
She relies on client-centered work to meet people where they are and to build trust from the first session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are introduced when emotion regulation and impulsivity are a concern. Takindra brings nine years of clinical experience in Tennessee to her practice and holds the LCSW credential. She draws on that experience when helping people set realistic goals and track progress over time.
Sessions are practical and focused on real-life changes. People often come with issues such as abandonment, communication problems, control issues, addiction concerns, family problems, or feelings of isolation. She breaks concerns into manageable steps and works alongside clients to build new habits and skills.
The emphasis is on what can be done between sessions. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change.
Whether the need is short-term problem solving or longer work on mood and life purpose, the plan is tailored to individual goals.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Takindra uses client-centered therapy to begin, which means sessions focus on the person’s perspective and priorities. This approach is about listening closely and building a plan around what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, or problematic behaviors. It is practical and often includes exercises to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Takindra collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. She may combine client-centered listening, CBT techniques, and DBT skills when emotion regulation or impulsivity is present. That choice is made together and adjusted as progress is tracked.
Online therapy can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or step-by-step skill building. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while keeping the focus on practical change.
