About Tunjua
Tunjua Nathaniel is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and major life changes. She draws on 26 years of experience to guide clients through hard feelings and confusing moments. Her approach is steady and compassionate, aimed at helping people make practical changes and feel more in control.
She focuses on improving communication, building self-esteem, and coping with trauma, grief, and addictions. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, blended-family struggles, and career-related stress.
Background and approach
Tunjua works with concerns related to attachment, abandonment, codependency, and intimacy problems. In sessions she uses straightforward methods from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and shift unhelpful patterns. She also incorporates emotionally-focused work for relationship issues and EMDR when trauma processing is needed.
Sessions are aimed at clear, doable steps rather than abstract talk. Tunjua practices in Florida as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Her style is warm and accepting, and she helps people sort through goals and next steps.
She welcomes English-speaking clients, including those living outside the United States. Therapy can include short-term coping plans for specific problems or longer work on identity, grief, or bipolar management. Her goal is to help people feel safer in relationships, steadier in mood, and more confident in daily life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard, build self-understanding, and set goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression through concrete exercises and homework. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.Choosing an approach is part of the work rather than a one-time decision. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps find which tools are helpful and which need adaptation for the individual's situation.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls for deeper conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or a quicker check-in, live chat for real-time typed conversation, and text-based messaging for brief updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, continue care while traveling, or use shorter formats for immediate coping skills and check-ins.
