About Tunjua
Tunjua Nathaniel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 26 years of experience. She focuses on common difficulties such as depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, stress, and life transitions. She also addresses issues like addiction, grief, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, and caregiving stress.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) as one of her main approaches. EFT is used to look at emotional patterns and attachment-related reactions that affect how people relate to themselves and others. She also draws on Client-Centered methods to follow each person's lead and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Sessions aim to identify recurring emotions and interaction patterns. Conversations often focus on naming emotions, noticing what triggers them, and trying different ways of responding. Practical strategies from CBT or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) may be offered to manage intense feelings or build coping skills.
Nathaniel pays attention to how identity and life roles affect emotional health. She addresses topics such as communication problems, codependency, commitment struggles, attachment issues, and blended family stress. She also works with people facing mood disorders like bipolar issues and disruptive mood challenges.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on uncovering and naming core emotions and attachment patterns. It helps people recognize how feelings shape their responses in close relationships and personal interactions.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes following the client's lead and building a collaborative conversation. It supports people who want to speak openly and be listened to without a heavy agenda.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It often includes short experiments or skill practice to shift unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, or stress management.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods collaboratively rather than imposing a single technique.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include easier fitting of appointments into busy days and options for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. The biography does not specify which session formats are available online, so confirm current options before booking. Many clients find that online sessions make regular attendance simpler while still allowing focused, emotion-oriented therapy.
