About Makeba
Makeba Terrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people strengthen close relationships and manage the emotional fallout of life changes. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at building clearer communication and healthier connection.
She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, and stress. She also helps people dealing with intimacy-related issues, anger, compassion fatigue, and struggles with self-esteem and confidence.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify patterns that get in the way and to practice new ways of relating. Makeba offers support for concerns tied to attachment and abandonment, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and the impact of divorce or separation. She also brings experience with caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, first responder issues, and disruptive mood challenges such as DMDD.
Her style is respectful and direct. She listens for what matters most to each person and adapts conversations and plans to fit those priorities. Expect clear goals, steady feedback, and concrete tools to try between sessions.
Starting therapy can feel hard, and Makeba aims to make that step easier. She helps people set realistic goals and track small changes over time. Progress is approached as a shared effort where new skills are learned and practiced.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing patterns in how people relate and react. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful interaction patterns and practice new ways to communicate - this is useful for couples, commitment issues, and communication problems. Another approach concentrates on mood symptoms such as depression and anxiety by teaching coping skills, emotion regulation, and ways to manage stress and overwhelm.Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and situation. That process includes setting clear goals, checking progress, and adjusting the plan when needed.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care when travel or logistics would otherwise get in the way.
