About Tunjua

Tunjua Nathaniel is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 26 years of practice, she blends practical skill-building with empathic listening to help clients address issues such as trauma, grief, addiction, intimacy-related concerns, and self-esteem. Her work also addresses a wide range of related challenges including parenting stress, career pressures, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and family dynamics.

Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and emotion-focused methods, allowing her to tailor interventions to each person's needs. Clients can expect an emphasis on developing clearer communication, building healthier coping strategies, and exploring patterns that interfere with well-being.

Tunjua places value on honoring identity and personal meaning while guiding clients through change and healing. Over the course of her career she has supported people facing complex emotional landscapes, from abandonment and attachment difficulties to codependency, divorce, and caregiver stress.

She practices with a focus on collaboration and practical steps that promote emotional balance and more authentic living.

Approaches that translate to online work

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems and helps clients build concrete coping strategies. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and creating space for clients to explore their feelings and values at their own pace, which can support work on self-esteem, identity, and relationship concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy combines emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills training to address intense emotions and improve communication patterns.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess needs, try strategies, and adapt methods over time so the treatment aligns with personal goals and preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy with this practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats allow people to engage from varied locations and schedules, make it easier to practice skills between sessions, and offer multiple ways to connect depending on comfort and daily demands.
