About Tamekia

Tamekia Powell approaches therapy with a belief that each person brings a distinct set of life experiences and strengths, and she adapts treatment to meet those individual needs.

Background and approach

As a clinician holding MD, LCPC, and LCMHC credentials, she collaborates with clients to develop goals that reflect emotional, mental, physical, social, spiritual, economic, and career factors. She emphasizes ongoing input from clients so that therapy remains responsive and aligned with changing concerns.

Her practice addresses a broad range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, and ADHD.

With seven years of professional experience in North Carolina, she draws on methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide treatment. Tamekia values clear, honest communication and works with clients to identify and address priorities within the counseling process.

Applying Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build understanding and self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical strategies to change feelings and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of traumatic experiences through strategies that help process memories and reduce distress related to abuse or other traumatic events.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each person to review concerns, goals, and personal preferences, then adapts methods as treatment progresses so that the plan remains relevant and effective. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what a client needs most at any stage.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or when in-person sessions are impractical. These formats let clients maintain continuity of care, access different communication styles, and work with licensed professionals from their own location while focusing on therapeutic goals and skill building.
