01About Makeba
Makeba Terrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship struggles and mood concerns and aims to help people build clearer communication and stronger emotional bonds. Her work often centers on helping people through grief, stress, anxiety, and shifts in life that feel overwhelming.
Terrell provides practical tools rather than only talk. She uses simple communication strategies that couples and individuals can try between sessions.
Background and approach
She helps people name feelings, set boundaries, and create routines that reduce daily stress and improve connection. Her approach is respectful and direct. She adjusts the pace and focus to fit each person’s needs and goals.
That might mean working on intimacy-related issues one week and coping skills for anxiety the next. She also supports people facing caregiver strain, cancer-related challenges, or first responder stress. Other focus areas include abandonment or attachment concerns, codependency, infidelity, divorce and separation, and unresolved guilt and shame.
Sessions aim to be a mix of real-life problem solving and emotional processing. Terrell helps people take small steps that add up to measurable change. She encourages clients to try new ways of communicating and managing strong emotions between meetings so progress carries into everyday life.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Makeba draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on communication and coping. One common approach she uses teaches concrete communication skills - how to speak about needs, listen without reacting, and resolve conflict step by step. This helps with relationship tension, commitment issues, and communication problems.She also uses practical mood-focused strategies that help manage anxiety and depression. These include learning routines, activity planning, and simple skills to reduce overwhelming feelings so daily life feels more manageable. These methods support work on grief, stress, and caregiver strain.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and try techniques that match those goals, adjusting methods together as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when visual cues matter for relationship work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Messaging and live chat let clients share updates between appointments and fit therapy into busy schedules.
