About Tunjua
Tunjua Nathaniel is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She draws on 26 years of clinical experience to offer steady, practical support for everyday struggles. She focuses on helping people with relationship issues, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, and identity matters.
Sessions tend to center on understanding what you’re facing now and finding small, manageable changes that make life easier.
Background and approach
She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood shifts, compassion fatigue, and career stress. Her approach is person-centered and collaborative. She listens first, then works with clients to build coping tools and better communication habits.
Evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness are used when they fit the client’s goals. Tunjua also brings therapies that target emotional patterns and trauma processing into the work when needed. That can include emotion-focused practices to repair difficult relationship patterns and EMDR for trauma memories.
She matches methods to what each person needs rather than following a single path. Many people seek her help for parenting-related stress and for support navigating family conflict. Her style is practical and respectful - aimed at helping people feel more capable, clearer about choices, and steadier in day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for working together
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding where a person is coming from. It helps people feel heard, clarify their goals, and make decisions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal behavior. It can be useful when strong emotions get in the way of relationships or daily functioning. The therapist will discuss these approaches and collaborate with each person to decide what fits their goals and situation best.
Online therapy allows this work to happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or work better when bandwidth is limited. Chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life while keeping the therapeutic focus intact.
