Tamekia Powell, LCPC, LCMHC

Tamekia Powell uses a client-centered approach to guide people through hard moments. She focuses on practical steps and clear goals to address stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and other concerns. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She is based in North Carolina and works in English.

Tamekia builds a goals plan from the information a person brings and from her assessment of their life circumstances. She asks about emotional, physical, social, spiritual, and work factors to see what matters most. Sessions emphasize open, honest communication and ongoing input from the person getting help. This keeps the plan relevant as needs change.

Her methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused techniques. She uses practical exercises and conversations to help people manage symptoms, change unhelpful patterns, and cope with loss or life shifts. She also offers coaching-style support for setting and reaching goals.

Across seven years of practice, Tamekia has supported people dealing with addiction, bipolar challenges, ADHD, grief, parenting strain, low self-esteem, anger, and depression. That experience informs how she matches approaches to each person. She helps people learn day-to-day skills they can try between sessions.

The first step is a short questionnaire and a scheduling choice. The plan is adjusted over time so it stays useful. Her credentials include Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their goals. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what she hears, and helps people set practical steps that fit their life. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort priorities and make change.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks down thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts. It uses simple exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with stress by offering tools people can use between sessions.

Trauma-focused therapy looks at the effects of traumatic events and helps reduce their hold on daily life. It uses structured techniques to process difficult memories and build safety and coping skills. That work can be paired with client-centered listening to make sure pacing fits the person's needs.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts plans as progress is made so the approach stays helpful.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into busy days, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the clinician about what will fit best in your routine and circumstances.
