Tamekia Powell, LCPC, LCMHC

Tamekia Powell is a licensed counselor who centers sessions on each person's needs. She uses a collaborative, person-focused approach so goals come from what the client wants. Tamekia draws on seven years of clinical experience to guide conversations about stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and other life challenges.

In sessions she asks about the whole person - emotional, social, work, and family life - to understand what matters most. She invites ongoing feedback so goals and strategies stay relevant. This straightforward style is intended to make therapy practical and easy to follow.

Tamekia uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused methods to address problems. She helps people break down patterns, try different coping skills, and make step-by-step changes that fit daily life.

Areas she commonly works with include depression, bipolar concerns, relationship and family stress, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. Addictions and trauma are also part of her focus. Tamekia supports people across sexual orientation and gender identity concerns.

She holds LCPC and LCMHC credentials and practices in North Carolina. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an appointment based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what the person brings to the session by listening closely and responding without judgment. This approach helps people feel heard and shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of starting work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may include trying different strategies and checking in regularly to see what helps.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work and family commitments and the ability to meet without traveling. Some people find phone or video sessions make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy day, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered, and the therapist will discuss how to make sessions practical and useful for everyday life.
