About Makebia
Makebia Rorie is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, evidence-based support for anxiety and stress. She brings five years of post-graduate clinical counseling experience and a longer history working in inpatient and outpatient settings. She aims to help people feel more able to manage everyday pressures and big life changes.
She has worked across several care settings and draws on that variety to match help to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions often involve talking through current challenges, identifying small steps to try, and building on strengths clients already have. Her work covers anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. Makebia treats each person as the expert on their own life and centers their goals in planning work together.
She listens for practical patterns that cause distress and looks for concrete changes people can practice between sessions. Progress is paced to what feels doable for each person. Her licenses include LCSW and LISW, and she provides services while based in North Carolina.
She offers a warm, direct approach that focuses on clear goals and measurable steps. Many people come expecting quick relief; she helps them build skills that support longer-term coping. If someone is unsure how to start, she encourages a first short conversation to see if the fit feels right.
The initial step is a simple matching process and scheduling a session at a time that works for the person.
Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Makebia draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for anxiety and stress management by teaching breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to reduce avoidance and increase confidence. Another approach targets mood and motivation by examining patterns of activity and thinking, then trying small behavioral changes to lift mood and boost momentum.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit daily life, and adjust plans based on what helps. The therapist frames treatment as a team effort where client preferences and real-world demands guide decisions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, quick coaching, and ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between meetings.
