About Tunjua

Tunjua Nathaniel is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship issues, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than lectures or quick fixes.

Her approach builds on Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, and emotion-focused work. That means conversations that pay attention to what matters to the client, skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and time spent understanding strong emotions. EMDR and DBT are also part of the toolkit when trauma or emotion regulation needs more focused attention.

Tunjua helps people sort through relationship patterns, communication problems, codependency, and blended family stress. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and caregiver burnout. Anger and control issues are named concerns she addresses directly in sessions.

Her style is straightforward and practical. Clients can expect to talk about recent situations, try small coping practices, and reflect on patterns that keep repeating. Progress tends to come from repeated practice and quick adjustments rather than one-off advice.

She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. For people balancing busy lives, she uses an approach that aims to fit therapy into everyday routines and goals rather than add extra complexity.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding what matters to the client and building a collaborative conversation. Online sessions using this approach often center on the client's priorities and real-life problems, helping them name what to work on and set concrete next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions this looks like reviewing recent situations, testing different reactions, and assigning short practice tasks between meetings to change patterns linked to anger, anxiety, or depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. When strong emotions or impulsive reactions are present, the therapist can teach and coach specific DBT techniques in-session and help apply them to everyday triggers.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which approaches fit a client's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or caregiving, reducing travel time, and the option for shorter check-ins when appropriate. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions are designed to translate in-person methods into straightforward, usable practices that fit daily life.
