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 focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, grief, parenting, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, and ADHD.
Tamekia describes therapy as collaborative. She works with people to build goals from the information they bring and from her assessment of their life circumstances. Sessions include ongoing input from the client so plans can be adjusted as needed. She emphasizes open, honest communication between counselor and client.
Her approach draws on several methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused work. She uses these to help people notice patterns, test different responses, and build practical skills for day-to-day life. The focus is on clear steps and strategies rather than abstract theory.
Tamekia has experience supporting people with substance-related concerns and trauma, and she incorporates goal-focused coaching when appropriate. She aims to address emotional, social, and occupational factors that affect wellbeing. Sessions look at what is getting in the way and what concrete changes might help.
People who contact her can expect straightforward planning and frequent check-ins about progress. Her practice in North Carolina follows the scope of her LCPC and LCMHC credentials. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How Tamekia applies CBT and related approaches online
Clients can expect practical, goal-focused methods adapted for remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then tests new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, avoidance, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the client's priorities guide the work. Motivational Interviewing is used when people feel stuck or ambivalent about change; it focuses on clarifying reasons for change and building motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tamekia collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what is working and what is not.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, save travel time, or use shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing format and timing during the first scheduling step helps match sessions to everyday life and obligations.
