About Talunja

Talunja Eskridge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi who uses a client-centered approach. She focuses on listening and helping people name what matters most. Her style is straightforward and respectful, with attention to what each person brings to the room.

She has ten years of experience as an LPC and prior work as a social worker. That background shaped her familiarity with trauma, domestic violence, substance use, depression, and anxiety.

Background and approach

She draws on those years to help people handle difficult emotions and practical problems. In sessions she aims to create space for honest talk about fears, goals, and changes people want to make. She supports work on stress, grief, anger, self-esteem, and the ups and downs of relationships and career transitions.

Conversations focus on real steps that fit daily life. Her training includes a Master of Science and the LPC credential. Talunja pays attention to research and learning, and she applies that information to inform care and choices in therapy.

She prefers clear, evidence-informed ways to help. Talunja helps people dealing with addictions and mood concerns such as bipolar and depression, along with family-related strains and coping with life changes. She offers several remote session formats to make care more accessible for different schedules and needs.

Client-centered care delivered online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects feelings, and helps the client discover their own solutions. This approach can be helpful for concerns like depression, anxiety, grief, relationship strains, and coping with life changes.

Because Talunja emphasizes listening and collaboration, she works with clients to find the right fit. Together they review goals, preferred ways of working, and which techniques seem most useful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to a person’s needs rather than applying one fixed method.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These formats let people connect from home, manage transportation limits, or use shorter check-ins between appointments. The variety of remote options supports flexibility while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical steps.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
