About Tekeah
Tekeah Mason is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland (LCSW-C) and also holds an LICSW credential for the District of Columbia. She has 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Her work also touches on body image, communication problems, control issues, isolation and loneliness, and concerns around guilt and shame.
She focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. Conversations often start by mapping what feels most urgent and what patterns keep repeating. Sessions include short-term strategies for managing intense feelings and longer work on changing unhelpful habits and beliefs.
Tekeah describes her meetings as collaborative. She listens to the person’s priorities and helps set clear, manageable goals. That might mean practicing different ways to communicate, trying behavioral changes that reduce anxiety, or working through feelings tied to loss.
Her background in positive psychology shapes how she looks for strengths and small shifts that make daily life easier. Over time clients may notice changes in mood, confidence, or how they respond to difficult situations. Tekeah uses evidence-based techniques alongside practical coaching to support that work.
People considering therapy are invited to think about what they want to change first. The therapist asks for what matters most and then co-creates a plan that fits the person’s day-to-day life. This approach aims to make progress feel manageable and relevant.
How evidence-based approaches guide online work
Many of the techniques Tekeah draws on come from evidence-based therapeutic practices that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral style methods help identify thinking patterns that increase anxiety or guilt and offer concrete exercises to test different responses. These approaches suit issues like social anxiety, mood concerns, and persistent worry.Behavioral and skills-based strategies are also used to change routines and reactions. That can include communication practice for relationship problems, activity planning for depression, or grounding tools for intense emotions tied to grief or shame. These methods focus on small, repeatable steps that build over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. This means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed rather than committing to one single model up front.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit around work and family obligations, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also work better when video is not ideal because of bandwidth or surroundings, so confirming practical session options in advance helps plan what will work best.
