About Makebia
Makebia Rorie is a licensed clinical social worker who brings five years of post‑graduate clinical experience to her counseling work. She offers straightforward, compassionate help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She speaks English and practices from North Carolina.
She previously worked across inpatient and outpatient settings, gathering a total of 18 years of professional experience in related roles. That background informs how she assesses concerns and shapes practical plans for coping and day-to-day progress.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps. Makebia treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on. She prioritizes practical strategies that fit into daily routines, along with chances to reflect on patterns that keep problems going.
The aim is to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming. Across appointments she uses talk, guided problem-solving, and goal setting to move forward. She also supports people working through motivation and confidence issues that block progress.
Conversations are framed so clients leave with a few concrete tasks to try between sessions. Makebia holds licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, and as a Licensed Independent Social Worker, LISW. Her approach is respectful and direct, geared toward helping people notice small wins and build lasting routines.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Makebia uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear steps and useful skills. One approach emphasizes problem-solving and practical coping skills to reduce daily stress and anxiety; it helps people break problems into manageable parts and try specific strategies between sessions. Another approach centers on building motivation and confidence through goal-setting and small achievable tasks, which can be helpful for addictions, low self-esteem, and getting unstuck.Choosing which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals, talk through options, and adjust methods as you learn what works. Together you decide which techniques fit your needs and daily life, and the plan can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video lets you see facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching-style support, or when you want to work between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
