About Tenisha
Tenisha Pettus is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Florida with 14 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, and anger. She also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem struggles, addiction, intimacy-related issues, and changes at work or home.
Tenisha focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening now and test small changes that can reduce tension. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice unhelpful patterns and find workable alternatives.
Systemic Therapy informs how she looks at problems that involve family roles and interaction patterns. That perspective can be useful for people adjusting to a new household, stepfamily dynamics, or complicated custody arrangements. She also offers support around topics such as kink and alternative sex culture, body image, and caregiver stress.
Her approach aims to be direct and respectful. Tenisha helps clients set clear goals and track progress from session to session. She encourages practical strategies that fit into everyday life rather than abstract plans.
Sessions are conducted in English and offered from Florida. The profile notes that session costs vary by location and that therapy is provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Tenisha often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try small experiments to change them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and everyday relationship patterns.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing, which focuses on a person's own reasons for change and helps build motivation step by step. This approach can help with substance concerns, habit changes, and commitment to new routines.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to clarify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked and new issues come up.
