About Tamekia
Tamekia Powell is a licensed clinician based in North Carolina who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She uses a collaborative style to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, addiction concerns, ADHD, and life changes. Her approach centers on the person's goals and daily reality, not on jargon or one-size-fits-all formulas.
She builds treatment plans together with each person. Those plans reflect emotional, social, work, and health factors. Tamekia asks for ongoing feedback so the work stays focused and useful.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at small, manageable changes. Her background includes seven years working in counseling and related settings. She holds MD, LCPC, and LCMHC credentials which guide her clinical practice in North Carolina.
That mix of experience supports both short-term problem solving and longer-term personal growth. In sessions she blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral work and motivation-focused interviewing. She also brings trauma-focused methods when past harm affects present life.
The emphasis is on useful steps people can try between meetings. Tamekia works with concerns such as parenting strain, relationship stress, grief, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood management, and LGBT-related issues. She encourages clear communication and goal setting so people leave sessions with concrete next steps.
The overall aim is clearer thinking, steadier routines, and better day-to-day functioning.
How her methods translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. The therapist offers space to talk through what matters most and helps shape goals based on the client's priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs validation and clearer direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions often include simple exercises and homework to try between meetings, which can help with anxiety, mood challenges, ADHD-related routines, and stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods together. That collaborative planning helps pick tools that fit the person's daily life.
Online sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text works well for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain progress when life gets hectic.
