About Tunjua

Tunjua Nathaniel is a Florida LMHC with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life changes. Her practice also covers issues such as addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, and blended family issues.

She uses practical, conversational therapy that focuses on what people need now. Sessions tend to look like problem-focused talk, skill building, and checking how changes feel in day-to-day life. She leans on approaches that target thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns rather than abstract theory.

Over many years she has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, abandonment, codependency, and communication problems. That background informs how she helps clients manage strong emotions and rebuild routine and trust after difficult events. She also addresses career stress and caregiver burnout when those pressures spill into personal life.

Her work draws from Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and EMDR. Those approaches are used to reduce symptoms, improve communication, and process past experiences that affect current relationships. The emphasis is on clear steps clients can try between sessions.

Tunjua aims to help people strengthen boundaries, solve recurring relationship conflicts, and adjust to blended household demands. She supports people who need tools for anger, mood instability, or motivation. To begin, she asks about what matters most and builds a practical plan for next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people clarify their priorities and name what feels most important in relationships or daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns or manage anxiety and mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes practical skills for tolerating intense emotion, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest one or more methods to try. Clients and the therapist check in over time and adjust the plan if a different focus would be more useful.

The therapist accepts international clients and sessions are arranged through the platform's booking process. The biography does not list specific formats, so confirm which session types are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use video when interaction matters or choose an audio option when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and emotion-regulation skills to work in an online session so the tools learned carry over into everyday life.
