About Tamekia

Tamekia Powell is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who approaches care with the person at the center. She prioritizes building a plan together and asks clients to help shape goals. This helps keep sessions focused and practical for everyday life.

She starts by listening to each person's story and needs. Tamekia considers emotional, social, work, spiritual, and economic factors when forming a plan. She asks for ongoing feedback so the plan stays relevant as circumstances change.

Her work uses collaborative goal-setting and methods that match the concern at hand. She draws on approaches such as client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral techniques to address mood, anxiety, anger, and stress. Motivational interviewing and trauma-focused ideas are also part of her practice when those fit the client’s needs.

Over seven years of experience inform her process. She helps people dealing with grief, relationship strain, addiction issues, self-esteem challenges, ADHD, and coping with major life changes. Tamekia aims for straightforward conversations about what’s working and what needs to change.

Tamekia practices in North Carolina and conducts therapy in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and scheduling details so they match their needs.

How these therapy approaches fit with online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and preferences. In practice this means the therapist listens more than tells, reflects what’s said, and helps the client set clear goals. It works well for issues like anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Sessions break problems into smaller parts and teach practical skills for mood, anger, and coping with life changes. Motivational interviewing is a short-term approach that helps people find their own reasons to change, and it pairs naturally with work on addiction or behavior change.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as progress is tracked. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be changed if something isn’t working.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people meet from different locations while keeping consistent weekly work with a licensed professional.
