Tenesha Jeffery, LCPC

Tenesha Jeffery is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland with five years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her work also includes support for motivation, communication problems, mood disorders, substance use concerns, and post-traumatic stress.

Tenesha aims to make the first steps toward therapy feel manageable. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and clear goals for change.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding reasons to change or to build stronger commitment to goals. She helps clients translate talk into small, doable steps.

Many people come for short-term help with a specific issue and others look for ongoing support while they work through deeper concerns. Tenesha works collaboratively with each person to set the pace and plan that fits their life. She encourages people to notice small gains and adjust the work as needed.

If you are considering starting therapy, Tenesha guides the intake steps and helps match goals to methods. The focus is on clear communication, steady progress, and building skills people can use outside sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Tenesha uses client-centered therapy to prioritize what matters most to each person, focusing on listening and reflecting to help people clarify their goals. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort through feelings and decide what to tackle first.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT offers concrete tools for anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns and often includes practical exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Then she and the client choose and adjust methods collaboratively so the plan fits the person's needs and pace.

If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to follow through on regular appointments when sessions fit their routine.
