About Makeba
Makeba Terrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, stress, anger, and intimacy-related issues. Her practice also addresses related problems such as attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication struggles, and caregiver stress.
Her approach centers on practical conversation and learning new ways to handle conflict. Sessions focus on clearer communication, managing strong emotions, and building healthier patterns in close relationships. She offers tools meant to help people reconnect and reduce repeated misunderstandings.
Makeba also supports people facing life changes like divorce, separation, cancer, or the end of caregiving duties. She helps clients name what feels overwhelming and break it into manageable steps. Work may include coping skills for stress, strategies for grief, and attention to issues of guilt, shame, or forgiveness.
She brings focused, adult-oriented therapy to issues that show up in daily life and relationships. Sessions are conversational and goal-directed, with time spent practicing skills between meetings when helpful. The emphasis is on clear explanations and small, achievable steps toward better communication and emotional regulation.
Clients who want practical tools for relationship repair, help with mood concerns, or support through major life shifts will find a straightforward approach. Makeba conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients; prospective clients should confirm current session options when booking.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Makeba uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical terms. One approach focuses on improving communication skills - teaching phrases and behaviors that lower reactivity and encourage constructive exchanges in relationships. Another approach targets mood and anxiety symptoms by breaking problems into small steps and practicing coping strategies between sessions. These approaches are used to address grief, anger, stress, and intimacy-related struggles as well.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which exercises or communication tools to focus on in sessions and at home.
Confirm the current session options when booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people maintain continuity of care while living in another region, since she accepts international clients. Ask about specific session arrangements before your first appointment so logistical details match your needs.
