01About Tamekia
Tamekia Powell uses a collaborative, client-centered approach to meet each person's unique needs. She combines talk-based work with practical strategies to help people manage stress, mood, relationships, and life changes. Tamekia holds MD, LCPC, LCMHC credentials and brings seven years of clinical experience in North Carolina.
Tamekia begins by listening to what matters most to the client. She gathers information about emotional, social, work, and health concerns and then maps out goals together.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear, honest communication and ongoing feedback so the plan can change as needs shift. Her work often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. Motivational interviewing is used to support people who want to change habits, including substance use concerns.
Trauma-focused methods are available for those processing past abuse or distressing events. Tamekia helps with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship troubles, anger, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and addiction concerns. She also supports people navigating identity and LGBT-related stress.
In sessions she keeps language straightforward and practical. People can expect focused conversation, skill practice, and check-ins on progress. The goal is to leave each meeting with a clearer next step and tools to use between sessions.

04Online support
Approaches for online care and practical work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals together. The therapist asks about what matters to the client and uses that input to shape each session, which helps when people are juggling home, work, and parenting demands.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) works on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online CBT can include quick skill practice, worksheets sent in chat, and brief between-session exercises to reinforce changes.
Motivational interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful online for addressing habits, substance use, or motivation around life transitions.
Determining the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is reviewed. This collaborative process helps clients know why an approach is chosen and what to expect.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing of worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, brief coaching, or when writing helps process thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while still doing meaningful clinical work.
