Some of my screenplays are Sci-Fis and Horrors and some of their characters have telekinetic abilities. How can you write the action describing them? Is it ok to write:" He uses his mind power to open the door"? Or "He telekinetically makes the glass smash into the wall" or "With mind power, the witch makes the door slam shut behind them"? If it's wrong, could you please tell me what is the right way to write this? Thank you for reading this!:)

If it were me, I'd use some kind of unique action or gesture to link to the ability. Think about how Samantha (Bewitched) used a nose twitch to invoke her ability.

You're telling the reader too much. Just put something like 'his eyes go rigid. The door slams' or something along those lines of action
Have you read scripts where the characters use esp and telekenesis? That's a good starting point.
