How Eunice works
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding internal motivation to make changes. Solution-Focused techniques help identify small steps that lead toward clearer goals. She also brings trauma-focused approaches when past hurt or abuse affects daily life.
That work is paced to what a person can manage and aims to reduce the ways painful memories disrupt relationships, sleep, or mood. For people with addictions, bipolar symptoms, or anger, she pairs skills practice with problem-solving strategies. Dr.
Ngumba-Gatabaki notices cultural background and military experience when they matter to the issue at hand. She supports people navigating multicultural adjustment and veteran or armed forces concerns. Her sessions are collaborative and shaped around each person’s needs.
Beginning therapy can feel hard. She asks direct questions, listens closely, and helps set clear steps for progress. The initial conversations focus on priorities and practical next steps.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on practical change
Dr. Ngumba-Gatabaki uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. CBT focuses on changing thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and other symptoms. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change, which can be useful for addictions or when facing big life shifts.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend a direction. The plan can shift over time so it matches what is most useful for the person in weekly sessions.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing or need brief, flexible touchpoints. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping care consistent.
