About Tunjua
Tunjua Nathaniel is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, trauma and addiction concerns. Her practice also lists support for intimacy issues, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, ADHD and a range of family-related problems.
She uses a mix of practical talk and skills-building. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, improving communication, and developing coping strategies. Tunjua draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Her work also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address attachment and relationship dynamics. For clients with trauma, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to process difficult memories. She explains approaches in plain language and helps clients pick what fits them.
Tunjua pays attention to how identity and life roles shape stress and behavior. She helps people talk through commitment and control issues, blended family concerns, caregiver strain, codependency and communication problems. Sessions aim to make everyday relationships clearer and more manageable.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She supports clients in building concrete tools for coping, making changes, and handling the day-to-day demands of parenting and family life. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. Online sessions let a therapist reflect, ask questions, and help clients clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which translates well to a remote format where worksheets and between-session tasks can be shared and reviewed. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills; those skills can be practiced in session and reviewed afterward for daily use.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice can change over time as problems shift or new priorities emerge.
Practical benefits of working online include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day and reduced travel time. Online work can support shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and allow the use of worksheets or skills practice between appointments. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the specific options before booking so sessions fit your routines and technology needs.
