About Makeba
Makeba Terrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and intimacy-related concerns. Her practice explicitly includes issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, caregiver stress, codependency, infidelity, and challenges that follow divorce or separation.
She focuses on practical communication skills for intimate partnerships and helps people learn to manage conflict without escalation. Sessions often include concrete tools for better listening, clearer boundaries, and rebuilding trust. She also supports people coping with life changes, chronic illness concerns like cancer, and the emotional strain that caregiving can bring.
Makeba frames sessions around straightforward conversation and actionable steps. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and relationship problems. Her approach is direct and organized, with attention to what the person wants to change and what realistically fits into daily life.
Clients can expect a focus on observable patterns such as control struggles, commitment fears, communication breakdowns, and disruptive mood concerns. Work may involve identifying triggers, trying new interaction habits, and practicing strategies between sessions. She also attends to compassion fatigue and first responder stress when these arise.
Makeba accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location. To begin, prospective clients follow the site flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Makeba works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing interaction patterns and improving mood. One common approach addresses communication and conflict skills by helping people notice how they respond in arguments, practice new ways to speak and listen, and test those skills between sessions. Another approach targets mood and stress by identifying triggers, adjusting daily routines, and using behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance and increase activity.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss what feels most important, try techniques that match the client's goals, and adjust methods based on what is or is not helpful. The therapist and client work together to decide which strategies to prioritize and how to measure progress.
