About LaQunana

LaQunana Cistrunk is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people handle depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns. She centers care on the person in front of her, aiming to help them feel more in control and understood. Her approach is direct and compassionate, with attention to identity and life changes that can feel overwhelming.

She uses strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and take actions that match their values. Client-centered listening is part of how she builds trust and explores what matters most to each person. Emotionally-Focused and Solution-Focused ideas guide shorter-term work on relationships and immediate problems.

LaQunana has 13 years of clinical experience and brings that background into practical sessions. She helps people with issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image, and communication challenges. She also supports those navigating gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS concerns, and the effects of isolation or aging.

Her work often addresses life transitions and coping skills for everyday stressors. Sessions include talking through patterns, practicing new responses, and setting small achievable goals. The goal is to build resilience and clearer self-understanding over time.

She practices in Mississippi and offers services to people who live outside the United States as well. Sessions are conducted in English and are designed to help individuals move toward more manageable daily routines and healthier relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction and more meaningful daily choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem by teaching concrete skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so people feel understood while they explore identity and personal goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose and adapt methods based on each person's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying different ways of working and checking in about what is helping and what needs to change.

If you plan to use online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking. The main practical benefits include easier fitting of appointments into busy days, the option to have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and being able to meet without commuting. Online sessions can also make it simpler to include focused skill practice between meetings. Ask about specific session options when you schedule so arrangements match your routine and goals.
