About Tamekia

Tamekia Powell approaches each person as a distinct and multifaceted individual, tailoring therapeutic work to the particular mix of emotional, social, physical, spiritual, and occupational factors that shape their life. She emphasizes collaboration - developing treatment goals with clients based on the information they share and on her clinical assessment - and invites ongoing input as issues are identified and worked through. Open and honest communication is presented as essential to a strong therapeutic relationship, with the counselor and client partnering to refine priorities and strategies over time.

Powell brings a range of professional credentials to her practice, including an MD (Doctor of Medicine) and counseling licenses LCPC and LCMHC, which are state-recognized credentials for mental health practice. In addition, she holds designations as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor, Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, Certified Sex Offender Treatment Specialist, National Certified Counselor, and Trauma-Focused CBT Therapist, reflecting focused training in trauma work, addiction, and specialized treatment areas. These qualifications inform a flexible, client-centered approach that draws on evidence-based methods when they fit the client’s goals.

Her work addresses a wide spectrum of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, grief, parenting and anger management, self-esteem and bipolar care, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Powell also integrates coaching techniques to support practical change and skill building, adapting interventions to each person’s unique needs.

Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspectives and goals guide the work. This approach helps people who want to explore feelings, values, and relationships while building self-awareness and confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with life changes because it emphasizes clear goals and skills that clients can practice between sessions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy offers targeted interventions for processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing impact. It is useful for people coping with trauma, abuse, grief, or significant life disruptions and can be applied with sensitivity to each person’s pace and readiness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to select and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, reviewing progress and making changes together as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent support across different formats, making it easier to maintain regular sessions and apply therapeutic tools in daily life.
