About Tameka
Tameka McFarland is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in North Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults 18 and up on relationship and family concerns, including intimacy issues, parenting worries, blended family adjustments, and stress related to life changes. Tameka sees individuals and couples who are dating, planning marriage, currently married, or considering separation. Sessions address emotional problems that affect how people connect with partners and family members.
Tameka combines several practical therapy methods to help people change patterns that cause pain. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at attachment and closeness in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different ways of reacting to stress and anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward it.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small actions that line up with their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions that arise during relationship or family transitions.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on seeing how attachment needs and emotional responses shape close relationships. It is useful when intimacy has become strained or when partners and individuals feel stuck in repeating hurtful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then recommend methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made or new issues come up.
