Tunjua Nathaniel, LMHC

Tunjua Nathaniel is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 26 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, addictions, and the shifts that come with major life changes. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more in control of day-to-day life.

She uses practical talk therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and build better ways of coping. That can mean working on communication, managing intense emotions like anger, or addressing grief and trauma. Sessions focus on small, usable steps clients can try between meetings.

Her background includes long-term clinical work in varied settings in Florida. That experience informs how she supports people with complex issues such as mood instability, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps people navigate identity and LGBT-related stressors.

Therapeutic methods include client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally focused work, and EMDR. Those tools are chosen to match each person’s needs rather than used mechanically.

Tunjua describes therapy as a collaborative process. She prioritizes respectful listening, clear feedback, and practical skill-building so clients can make steady progress toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client’s lead to clarify feelings and goals, which helps with self-esteem, stress, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving day-to-day worries through practical exercises and homework.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It can help with anger, mood instability, and building better coping routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods collaboratively rather than imposing one way of working.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered.
