About LaQunana
LaQunana Cistrunk uses a blend of approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience and works from Mississippi. Her style is direct, warm, and focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She helps people who are navigating life changes and questions about identity. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, building coping skills, and reducing overwhelming thoughts.
How LaQunana works
LaQunana pays attention to concerns common in the LGBT community and to issues such as gender dysphoria and HIV / AIDS. Her background includes work with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care, and attachment issues. She also addresses body image, guilt and shame, and the loneliness that can come with major life transitions.
Treatment plans are shaped around what the individual says they need right now. Therapy sessions may draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix is used to teach practical skills, clarify personal values, and work through painful memories when needed.
LaQunana frames sessions as a collaborative process. She aims to help clients find small, manageable changes that make daily life feel easier. Her approach is grounded in real-world steps and steady support.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that fit their values, which can be useful for anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood or worry. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so people feel heard while they sort through identity and self-esteem concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging works for short updates or on-the-go support. These options provide practical flexibility while keeping the focus on progress and real-world skills.
