About Tameka
Tameka McFarland is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps adults facing anxiety, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She meets adults 18 and older and works with individuals, couples who are dating or married, and people navigating separation or divorce. Her tone is direct and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps and steady support.
She draws on several approaches to shape sessions, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Background and approach
Those methods guide conversations about how thoughts, feelings, and patterns affect relationships and daily life. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas when they fit the client’s goals. McFarland trained in psychology and human development and later completed a master of science degree.
She has been licensed as a marriage and family therapist since December 2017 and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work in North Carolina. In sessions she focuses on practical change. That might mean learning new ways to handle conflict, rebuilding trust, or practicing skills that reduce stress and anxiety.
She also supports people dealing with grief, body image concerns, codependency, forgiveness, and other family-of-origin issues. Therapy can include short-term skill building or longer work on attachment and intimacy patterns. Sessions can be arranged by scheduling a consultation after completing the brief matching questionnaire on the site.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting patterns that hurt intimacy and connection in relationships. It is useful when couples or partners feel far apart and want to rebuild emotional closeness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, what has helped or not helped before, and then suggest methods to try. Decisions about which methods to use are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and emotion work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter exchanges, homework support, or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options let people access care from different locations and on flexible schedules.
