About Tamekia
Tamekia Powell is a licensed clinician who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and life changes. She uses practical, person-focused methods to map out goals and plan next steps. Her approach is collaborative and direct, so clients know what to expect from sessions.
Tamekia begins by listening closely to each person’s story and daily struggles. She gathers information about emotional, social, and practical areas of life to shape the plan.
Background and approach
Goals are set together and revisited often so progress stays realistic and relevant. Sessions emphasize clear communication and ongoing input from the client. Tamekia will ask questions and check in about what is or isn’t working.
That feedback guides changes in the plan and the tools introduced during sessions. Her background includes an MD and clinical licenses as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. She has seven years of experience working with a range of concerns, including relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, anger, self-esteem, bipolar issues, and ADHD-related challenges.
Tamekia draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused work. Those methods are used to build skills for coping, reduce overwhelming feelings, and support practical change. She aims to make therapy understandable and usable in everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s experience and priorities. In practice this means sessions begin with listening and follow the client’s lead to set goals and pace the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing small changes that lessen anxiety and improve mood. These techniques are useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Goals are reviewed regularly so the work stays relevant to everyday life.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for skills practice and exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is inconvenient. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when written reflection fits a person’s routine. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to use tools between sessions.
