About Tamekia

Tamekia Powell brings a client-centered approach to therapy. She focuses on listening first, then tailoring sessions to each person’s needs. Her work often centers on coping with life changes, stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. She practices in North Carolina and holds LCPC and LCMHC credentials. She builds goals collaboratively and asks for regular input as therapy progresses. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual - emotions, behavior, relationships, work, and daily routines. Short-term strategies may be paired with deeper work when trauma, grief, or addiction issues are present. Her methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside Client-Centered and Trauma-Focused approaches. These methods are used to help people manage mood, reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, and find motivation for change. The therapist adjusts tools to match each person’s situation and goals. Powell emphasizes clear communication between therapist and client. She checks in about progress and invites feedback so plans can shift when needed. That ongoing collaboration helps keep sessions practical and relevant. With seven years of experience, she brings steady clinical practice to sessions. People looking for help with parenting stress, ADHD challenges, self-esteem, or substance-related concerns can explore these topics in a supportive space. To begin, readers should confirm current session options when they schedule.

How these approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and following their lead in sessions. It helps when someone needs a listening space to make sense of changes and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck and want help finding internal reasons to change, which can be useful for addictions or life transitions. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That conversation shapes whether more CBT skills, motivational strategies, trauma-focused steps, or a client-centered pace will be used. Please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - appointments can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or school commitments. Some formats are better for brief check-ins, while others allow full sessions with exercises and reflection. Discussing practical needs when scheduling helps pick the best way to meet regularly and keep progress moving.
