About Makebia
Makebia Rorie is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, and life changes. She brings five years of post-graduate clinical experience and a longer background in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She aims to help people find steady ways to manage hard moments and rebuild confidence.
She holds LCSW and LISW credentials and is licensed in North Carolina, Texas, and Ohio.
How Makebia works
Over 18 years of combined work experience inform her clinical perspective. That mix of settings means she is familiar with different care routines and what usually helps people make progress. In sessions she centers the person’s own story and strengths.
She works to help people set concrete goals and practice skills they can use between meetings. The tone is straightforward and encouraging, with an emphasis on small, steady steps toward change. Makebia supports common concerns like coping with stress, managing anxiety, addressing substance use, lifting low mood, and navigating major life transitions.
She also helps people build motivation and self-confidence through realistic plans and regular check-ins. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions through the platform. Sessions are offered in English and include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Online support options
Evidence-based techniques and flexible online sessions
Makebia uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques that help people learn skills and solve problems. One approach focuses on building practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching short exercises to manage overwhelming thoughts and tension. Another approach centers on changing unhelpful habits related to mood and substance use by setting small goals, tracking progress, and replacing old patterns with healthier routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to identify what feels workable and meaningful, adjusting strategies based on goals and progress. This shared process helps ensure techniques match the person’s needs and preferences rather than being applied the same way for everyone.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls let people see facial cues and have deeper conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging works for short updates between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into daily life and keep momentum between sessions.
