Tamekia Powell, LCPC, LCMHC

Tamekia Powell is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. She focuses on relationship concerns alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, and other life changes. Her style is collaborative and centered on the person seeking help.

She starts by listening closely to what matters most to the client. Then she and the client build goals together, using what the client brings to shape each step. Sessions emphasize open communication and regular feedback so the plan can change as needed.

Tamekia draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, responsive atmosphere. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Motivational interviewing techniques are applied when someone wants support making a change and needs help finding their own reasons to act.

Her approach addresses practical life concerns like parenting stress, relationship strain, coping after loss, and managing mood or substance challenges. She aims to keep sessions focused on what will help day to day, with clear steps and check-ins.

Tamekia has seven years of clinical experience and holds credentials in North Carolina and Maryland. People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused planning, and regular reassessment to make sure therapy stays relevant.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy puts the client’s perspective first and creates space to talk about what matters. Online work using this approach focuses on active listening, checking in about goals, and adapting sessions to what the person needs in the moment.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and try different actions to change how they feel. In online sessions CBT can include setting simple homework, reviewing progress, and practicing new skills between meetings to handle anxiety, mood, or relationship reactions.

Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants support making a change. The therapist helps draw out the client’s own reasons for change and builds manageable next steps that fit into daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That plan can shift as needs change, and choices are made collaboratively.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and homework to the client’s schedule and circumstances.
