Tunjua Nathaniel

Tunjua Nathaniel is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life changes. She has 26 years of experience and works with concerns such as trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her approach centers on meeting each person where they are. Sessions focus on practical steps that relieve distress and improve daily functioning. She listens for what matters most and helps people build skills for handling strong emotions and difficult situations.

Tunjua blends talk-based methods with structured techniques. She uses client-centered work to follow what the client brings, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts, and dialectical behavior methods for emotion and coping skills. She also draws on emotionally-focused work and EMDR when addressing painful memories and relationship patterns.

In session she aims to make growth feel manageable and relevant to everyday life. Conversations cover patterns in relationships, coping strategies for stress, and ways to rebuild self-worth after setbacks. Practical homework and simple skill practice are common parts of the work.

Based in Florida, she holds the LMHC credential, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients when appropriate. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's concerns and building understanding through empathic listening. Online sessions using this approach center on what matters most to the person and help clarify goals and next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In remote sessions this often leads to targeted exercises and practical homework that can be done between meetings to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Therapists can introduce skills, coach practice, and review progress during online meetings to help people manage strong emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist choose the pace and focus together.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on high-stress days, or let someone join from a quieter area when needed. Licensed professionals can also use online sessions to share worksheets, guide skill practice, and track small steps between meetings.
