About Tamekia

Tamekia Powell uses a flexible, client-centered approach that adapts to each person’s distinct needs and life circumstances. She emphasizes collaboration, inviting clients to shape the goals and direction of therapy while she integrates clinical assessment of emotional, mental, physical, social, spiritual, and career factors.

Background and approach

Open dialogue and ongoing feedback are central to her method, helping to identify the issues to address during sessions and to adjust the plan as progress unfolds. With seven years of professional experience, she brings training in several evidence-informed modalities, including cognitive behavioral strategies and trauma-focused methods, as well as motivational interviewing techniques used to support behavior change.

Powell works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes. She holds the credentials MD, LCPC, and LCMHC and practices from North Carolina, offering care in English and through multiple online session formats to accommodate different needs.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy is focused on listening to each person's perspective and building a treatment plan together, encouraging clients to express goals and preferences while the therapist provides support and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to problems and teaches practical skills for changing those patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing supports movement through ambivalence by exploring values and fostering intrinsic motivation for change in areas such as addictions or lifestyle shifts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and this therapist works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may involve blending techniques and adjusting strategies over time so treatment remains responsive and practical.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and adaptable to different schedules. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide continuity of care and practical skill work between meetings, helping clients access support from their preferred setting while maintaining consistency with the agreed-upon treatment plan.
