About Jemeka
Jemeka Stallworth is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 23 years of experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. Jemeka helps clients who are dealing with trauma, intimacy concerns, self-esteem issues, and career pressures.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Conversations focus on understanding what triggers strong reactions, learning skills to respond differently, and building coping strategies that fit daily life. Sessions also address communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, and patterns that repeat from family of origin issues.
Jemeka draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client's goals. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach thinking and behavior strategies that reduce distress. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to set clear, achievable steps when change feels overwhelming.
Her work includes practical help for people navigating divorce or separation, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and substance use problems. She also supports those coping with first responder stress, commitment issues, codependency, and communication breakdowns.
Sessions are aimed at building resilience and clearer decision-making. Jemeka asks clients to try small experiments between sessions and to track what helps and what does not. This hands-on style keeps therapy focused on measurable progress and on tools that can be used outside the therapy hour.
Therapeutic approaches used for online work
Jemeka often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT is useful when anger comes from automatic thoughts or beliefs that escalate a reaction.She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-style techniques teach short-term tools to lower intensity, and communication skills to express needs without increasing conflict.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Jemeka collaborates with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and daily life. She suggests small experiments and adjusts methods based on what the client notices is working.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments and can reduce travel time. Different session styles can support shorter check-ins, phone-based conversations when bandwidth is limited, or longer video sessions when visual cues help the work. The focus is on practical ways to build new responses to anger and to practice skills between sessions.
