About Takindra

Takindra Worles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes.

Background and approach

Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical steps that fit everyday life. In sessions she uses approaches such as the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and client-centered listening to understand each person's goals.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when people need help with emotion regulation and impulsivity. The aim is to teach skills people can use between sessions.

Takindra has nine years of experience in clinical social work. That experience includes supporting people through mood challenges, substance concerns, feelings of isolation, and family-related stress.

She focuses on concrete tools for coping and communication rather than long lists of labels. People who meet with her can expect collaborative sessions that balance empathy with actionable steps.

She helps clients set small goals, practice new habits, and track progress over time. The work is paced to match each person's needs and life demands.

Takindra offers sessions in English and provides several online formats to fit busy schedules. She works with adults seeking help for emotional and practical concerns and aims to create a steady, problem-focused path toward better daily functioning.

Approach-driven care delivered online

Takindra uses several practical approaches tailored to clients' goals. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication patterns and reducing conflict in close relationships by teaching clearer listening and repair skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

She treats the choice of method as a collaborative decision. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try approaches that fit those aims, and adjust methods over time based on what is working. That way, the plan evolves to match real progress and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter updates, ongoing coaching-style support, and people who prefer typing over talking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and varied needs.
