About Khadija
Khadija Muntwanamba is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety and stress. She works with adults facing loss, trauma, mood concerns, and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and empathetic, with attention to practical steps people can use between sessions.
She draws on ten years of clinical experience across medical, geriatric, and psychiatric settings in Texas. That background shaped how she approaches complex situations like trauma, addictions, and severe mood swings.
Background and approach
Khadija emphasizes listening first, then building a simple plan together. Her sessions often include skills for handling anxiety, ways to change stressful thinking, and mindfulness practices to steady the mind. She uses techniques drawn from client-centered care, cognitive behavioral approaches, and dialectical behavior ideas to suit each person's needs.
Expect short-term tools and longer-term strategies depending on goals. Khadija also addresses concerns such as grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, work stress, and identity or cultural issues. She speaks English and Swahili and can discuss immigration-related stress and multicultural challenges in those languages.
Clients who struggle with obsessive thoughts, hoarding, or seasonal mood shifts can also find focused support. Her approach balances practical problem-solving with attention to a person's values and life purpose. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelming feelings while helping people regain daily functioning.
Khadija supports collaboration and clear next steps so progress feels manageable and real.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy begins by focusing on the person and their goals. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people name what matters to them, which can be especially helpful for anxiety and life changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It suits worries, panic, and depressive patterns by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing new behaviors between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy, often called DBT, offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and improving relationships. It is useful for people who feel overwhelmed by strong feelings or who want better ways to cope with stress.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they adjust tools and pacing so the work fits real life and leads to practical changes.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through skills live. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for a focused check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework prompts, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and continue work between appointments.
