Mekiela "Meka" Dorough, LPC

Mekiela "Meka" Dorough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem and confidence challenges, and the emotional impact of life changes. Her practice also addresses a range of related issues including attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, body image struggles, communication problems, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, family conflict, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, impulsivity, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, and questions about life purpose.

Meka draws on a blend of evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person s needs. Her toolkit includes client-centered therapy that emphasizes the person s own goals and strengths, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) for relational work, mindfulness practices for present-moment awareness, solution-focused techniques for setting achievable goals, and trauma-focused methods when past events affect current functioning.

She believes that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to move through challenges. Seeking therapy is framed as a courageous first step toward a more fulfilling life, and Meka positions herself as a supportive collaborator in that process, offering guidance, practical strategies, and a steady presence as clients work toward their goals.
