About Tamekia
Tamekia Powell is a licensed clinician who centers therapy on each person's unique needs. She draws on a mix of practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, parenting strain, relationship concerns, grief, and life changes. She builds a plan together with the person in session.
That plan reflects what the person says, along with the therapist's assessment of emotional, social, and career factors. Sessions focus on clear goals and regular check-ins so progress can be tracked.
Background and approach
Her work includes approaches that address unhelpful thinking patterns and trauma reactions. She also uses motivational techniques to support behavior change and goal setting. This means sessions can include straightforward strategies, skill practice, and problem-solving conversations.
With seven years of experience, she aims to make sessions feel collaborative and practical. She asks for honest feedback and adjusts the approach when needed. The emphasis is on realistic steps people can try between meetings.
Tamekia holds an MD and is credentialed as an LCPC and LCMHC. She practices in North Carolina and offers care in English. Her style suits people who want a mix of problem-focused techniques and supportive, person-centered care.

Using CBT and Trauma-Focused Care Online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and building goals that matter to the person. The therapist asks about strengths, priorities, and daily routines, then adapts sessions to those realities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people understand and manage trauma reactions through paced, evidence-informed techniques that reduce distress and improve coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate to decide which methods best match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions begin with an assessment and then adjust the plan as progress and feedback guide the work.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people share updates, reflect between sessions, or get brief coaching in moments of need. These options help fit therapy into busy family and work schedules while keeping focus on practical tools and steady progress.
