About Makeba
Makeba Terrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people find steadier ground when relationships feel shaky or when life brings heavy loss and stress. Her work centers on clear communication, rebuilding trust, and restoring self-worth for adults.
She offers practical tools to manage conflict and to strengthen emotional connection in intimate relationships. She also helps people cope with grief, depression, anxiety, and burnout from caregiving or high-demand jobs.
How Makeba works
Sessions aim to be straightforward and action-oriented, with room for honest feeling and repair. Makeba adapts her approach to each person. She talks through what matters most and builds a plan that fits daily life.
That plan can include skill practice, ways to handle intense emotion, and steps to restore balance after a loss or breakup. Her focus includes attachment and abandonment concerns, issues around commitment and infidelity, communication problems, and challenges tied to major life changes like divorce or illness. She also works with people facing guilt, shame, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Therapy conversations are respectful and direct. Makeba encourages small, steady changes that add up over time. She welcomes English-speaking clients in Texas and also accepts international clients for remote sessions.

Online support options
How approaches and online care come together
Makeba uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issue at hand. For relationship work she focuses on improving communication and building practical skills to manage conflict and restore emotional connection. For grief and loss she uses targeted strategies to help people process painful experiences, tolerate strong feelings, and find ways to keep moving forward.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will listen to a client’s goals and preferences, explain different options in plain language, and try methods that fit the person’s life. Together they decide what feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible across time zones and daily routines.
