About Tunjua
Tunjua Nathaniel helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. She meets individuals who are coping with grief, trauma, addiction, identity questions, and problems with intimacy or self-esteem. Tunjua is a licensed mental health counselor with 26 years of experience and she practices in Florida.
Her sessions focus on real conversations rather than jargon. She listens and works with each person to set practical goals.
How Tunjua works
She uses clear tools to address unhelpful thoughts, build emotional skills, and repair painful relationship patterns. Tunjua combines client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy and EMDR when trauma or attachment wounds are central to the work.
The aim is to reduce distress while strengthening coping and connection. In therapy she helps people name painful feelings, try small behavior changes, and rehearse new ways of relating. She supports parents with parenting strain and helps people facing workplace stress or career choices.
Sessions often include skill practice, gentle exploration of past hurts, and planning for concrete next steps. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Her Florida license is LMHC.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connects people to her practice so work can start steadily and with a clear plan.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person and their goals, encouraging open conversation and compassionate listening to help people feel understood and heard. It is useful for building trust and moving at a pace that feels right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems through homework and skill practice. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help when feelings are intense or relationships are strained.Deciding which approach to use is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins and skill reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional relief.
