How Tamekia works
Sessions emphasize clear steps you can try between meetings, such as coping skills, thought tracking, or behavior experiments that fit daily life. She also brings trauma-informed techniques into work with people who have experienced abuse or other painful events. That means slowing the pace when needed and focusing on manageable ways to regain control over reactions and memories.
Tamekia has seven years of experience in counseling and addiction-related work. She uses motivational interviewing to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and to support gradual progress without judgment. Practical concerns like parenting stress, relationship strain, grief, ADHD challenges, and coping with life changes are all common topics in her sessions.
People can expect direct conversation, clear homework when helpful, and regular check-ins to see what is working and what needs to shift.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist reflects back what she hears and helps the person set their own goals, which works well for concerns like self-esteem, relationship strain, and general stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It often includes small experiments and homework, useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and managing mood shifts.
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It’s often used when someone is thinking about making life changes related to addiction, health behaviors, or motivation for everyday goals.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and past experiences, then try methods that fit. Progress is reviewed regularly and techniques are adjusted until they feel helpful.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and therapeutic exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
