About Makeba
Makeba Terrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with eight years of experience. She focuses on helping adults facing relationship struggles, depression, anxiety, and anger. Her work centers on practical steps people can use to handle conflict and rebuild connection.
She offers straightforward conversation and tools rather than jargon. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, setting healthy boundaries, and managing strong emotions. Clients can expect direct skill-building they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Makeba pays attention to what led someone to seek help. She listens for patterns around attachment, control, and communication that keep problems repeating. From there she co-creates goals and a simple plan that fits the person's life and values.
People come to her for help with grief, self-esteem, caregiver stress, forgiveness, and issues after separation or infidelity. She also supports those experiencing compassion fatigue and first responder stress, using practical strategies to reduce overwhelm. Her style is respectful and practical.
She adapts the pace to each person's needs and encourages regular check-ins on progress. Starting therapy is framed as a steady process, not a one-time fix.

Evidence-based approaches and online support for relationships
Makeba uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on communication skills and emotion regulation. One common approach she uses teaches clear ways to share feelings and needs, which helps reduce repeated conflicts and improve understanding between people. Another approach emphasizes managing intense emotions through simple coping skills and breath-based or grounding practices to reduce sudden anger or overwhelm.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. That process includes checking what works, adjusting techniques, and setting small achievable steps so progress feels manageable.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for role-play or communication practice. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, skill reminders, and follow-up between sessions. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
