About Tunjua
Tunjua Nathaniel is an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 26 years of experience. She works with adults on common early-adulthood pressures such as anxiety, stress, relationship problems, depression, and major life changes.
She helps people untangle repeating relationship patterns and communication problems. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and issues around identity including LGBT concerns. Career worries, parenting stress, and struggles with attention or mood are also part of her practice.
Her approach centers on listening closely and responding to what each person brings to a session. She uses client-centered therapy to focus on the person’s experience and CBT to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. DBT skills may be introduced for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when useful.
Tunjua also draws on emotionally focused work to look at attachment and intimacy issues, and she uses EMDR for processing trauma when appropriate. Sessions aim to build concrete coping strategies and clearer communication, not just talk about problems.
Over her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including personality-related issues, codependency, caregiver stress, and blended family difficulties. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy keeps the focus on the person’s experience. Online sessions using this approach start with listening and reflection to clarify what matters most and what goals feel realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used online, breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That plan can change as therapy progresses and as different needs come up, such as skills for emotion regulation or processing a difficult memory.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It can also let people choose whether to use video or another format based on what helps them focus and participate most effectively.
