Tenisha Pettus , LMFT

Tenisha Pettus is a Florida-licensed therapist with 14 years of professional experience who supports individuals and families navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflicts, and anger management. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she brings training in relational dynamics and systems-oriented care to help clients address both personal and interpersonal concerns.

She fosters an open, nonjudgmental space where clients are encouraged to share thoughts and feelings honestly and explore practical strategies for coping and growth. Tenisha collaborates with each person to identify goals and develop skills that fit their life circumstances and values.

Recognizing that beginning therapy can require courage, she validates that first step and aims to make the process approachable. Her years of experience inform a steady, supportive approach designed to guide clients through change and toward greater resilience and healthier relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options

Tenisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - a practical approach often used for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns. She also draws on Systemic Therapy, which looks at relationships and family patterns to address how interactions and roles influence emotional well-being and interpersonal problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work Tenisha does with each client. She will discuss goals, preferences, and life context to determine which methods fit best and may combine techniques from different approaches to meet individual needs.

Online therapy with Tenisha is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote care. These options allow clients to engage in regular therapeutic work from locations that are convenient for them while maintaining continuity and consistency in treatment.
