About Tunjua
Tunjua Nathaniel is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, or life changes. Her approach aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear for someone who is worried and unsure what to do next.
She uses straightforward conversations to uncover patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions focus on improving communication, building self-esteem, and learning coping skills that fit daily life. Tunjua also works with clients facing grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and intimacy-related issues.
Her style centers on a client-centered stance where the person’s experience leads the work. She blends cognitive behavioral strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and dialectical skills to manage strong emotions. Emotion-focused methods are used when relationships and attachment wounds are central to the concern.
Over the years she has supported people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and codependency concerns. She pays attention to how identity and personal history shape current struggles and goals. This helps shape practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Tunjua aims to create an affirming space for honest conversation and steady progress. Her goal is to help people notice small changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning. She invites prospective clients to consider what they want to change and to start with a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy places the person's goals and experience at the center of treatment. In this approach the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them set priorities and try changes that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to pick strategies that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and checking what feels useful over time.
For practical matters, confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people connect with a licensed professional from a different location, which is useful for those seeking a particular therapeutic style or clinician. The therapist will work with the client to find a schedule and session rhythm that supports steady progress.
