    About Tamekia

    Tamekia Powell is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who brings seven years of experience to her practice in North Carolina. She centers sessions on each person’s needs and works together with clients to shape practical goals. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward, inviting ongoing input as issues are identified and addressed.

    In sessions she listens for what matters most and uses that information to guide choices about techniques. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Trauma-Focused Therapy supports processing painful experiences when trauma is part of the story.

    Tamekia helps with stress, anxiety, depression, and grief, and she assists people dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, and life transitions. She also supports those managing addictions, bipolar challenges, ADHD, anger, and self‑esteem concerns. LGBT issues are included among her practice areas.

    Her style is practical and person-focused. Sessions aim to be clear and goal-oriented, not vague. People can expect straightforward conversation, collaborative planning, and skill-building relevant to everyday life.

    Based in North Carolina, she works in English. Tamekia uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.

  2. Approaches that guide online work and progress

    Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening without judgement and building a trusting connection, helping people feel understood as they sort through problems. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring personal goals and strengthening motivation to change, which can be useful for addictions, behavioral shifts, and making life changes.

    These methods are described and tried together. The therapist will help the client decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best based on goals and preferences. That choice is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.

    If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or non-video options depending on what suits their day and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like motivational interviewing and CBT so they work well in remote sessions.
