About Tamekia
Tamekia Powell uses a collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy. She combines practical techniques with active listening to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Tamekia holds MD, LCPC, LCMHC and brings seven years of clinical experience in North Carolina.
She starts by asking about the whole person - emotional life, work, relationships, and daily routines. Together with each client she sets clear, realistic goals and checks in regularly on progress.
Background and approach
Sessions are meant to be practical and focused on what helps most in daily life. Tamekia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with workable coping strategies. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to change behaviors, including substance use.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is offered when past events continue to affect current functioning. Her experience includes helping people with depression, grief, anger, and addictions as well as parenting stress, relationship strain, bipolar concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. She also works with people navigating sexual orientation and LGBT-related worries.
In session, conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented. Clients can expect to practice new skills between visits and to review what’s working. Tamekia adapts methods to each person’s needs and encourages open, honest communication throughout treatment.
Online approaches that focus on skills and recovery
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's priorities and lived experience, creating space for them to guide what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and builds the foundation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. It is useful for managing stress, mood shifts, and unhelpful thinking patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the client's goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative process means strategies are tailored to individual needs and preferences rather than applied the same way to everyone.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are suited to longer, face-to-face conversations while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter environment is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or easier scheduling between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care when in-person visits are not practical.
