Takindra Worles , LCSW

Takindra Worles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee who uses a practical, client-focused approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative, helping clients set clear goals and build skills they can use day to day.

Takindra draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful space where people feel heard. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy strategies are used when emotion regulation and impulse control are priorities.

Her background includes nine years of clinical work in Tennessee. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with mood disorders, family problems, substance use concerns, and the strain of major life changes. Takindra focuses on practical steps rather than long theoretical discussions.

In sessions she helps people work through issues such as abandonment, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and midlife questions. She also supports those coping with anger, impulsivity, and the fallout of natural or human-caused disasters. Conversations aim to be clear, paced, and goal-oriented.

Takindra works in English and provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are part of a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

How Takindra’s Approaches Work Online

Takindra uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, respect, and building a cooperative relationship so clients feel comfortable naming goals and choosing the pace of work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and practice small changes in behavior that reduce anxiety and lift mood. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills can be introduced when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or impulsivity are central concerns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and daily challenges, then suggest techniques to try. If one method isn’t working, she adjusts the plan so it fits the client’s needs and preferences rather than insisting on a single path.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep working on goals from different locations.
