About Tamekia
Tamekia Powell is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with seven years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and major life changes.
She starts by building a collaborative plan from what the client shares and from her assessment. That plan sets clear goals and is revisited as progress is made. Sessions focus on open and honest communication so both parties can identify what to work on next.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's experience central. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. Trauma-focused approaches are used when past events are getting in the way of current functioning.
In practical terms she asks for ongoing input during sessions and adjusts the approach based on how a person responds. Conversations tend to be straightforward and action-oriented, with time for reflecting on feelings and planning next steps. That combination aims to reduce reactivity, improve coping, and help people express anger in safer, more constructive ways.
Sessions are held from North Carolina and are conducted in English. Interested people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, clarifies what matters most to the client, and helps set goals based on that input. This approach helps when anger comes from unmet needs or feeling unheard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that drive reactive behavior. It uses practical exercises and homework to reduce reactivity, manage stress, and alter the behaviors that fuel angry responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the online process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on goals, preferences, and how the person responds in early sessions. That plan can be adjusted over time as progress is tracked.
Session delivery details are not listed here, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for quicker check-ins when problems flare up. Phone or video formats each have practical advantages - phone can be lower bandwidth and simpler to join, while video allows for face-to-face conversation - so consider which fits day-to-day life when scheduling.
