About LaQunana
LaQunana Cistrunk is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, and self-esteem. She brings 13 years of experience and centers care on practical steps people can use right away. The tone is warm and straightforward, aiming to help people feel steadier and more in control.
LaQunana uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small, values-based actions.
Background and approach
She also incorporates client-centered and emotionally-focused work to support clearer communication and stronger emotional understanding. Sessions tend to focus on skills that reduce anxiety and strategies for coping with life changes. Her work includes attention to issues that often accompany anxiety, like isolation, body image concerns, guilt and shame, and challenges tied to identity and gender dysphoria.
She also addresses concerns related to abandonment, attachment, adoption and foster care, aging, and HIV/AIDS when they come up in therapy. LaQunana aims to create an affirming space for LGBTQ people and others navigating identity questions. She works with people who want practical plans and steady emotional support rather than quick fixes.
Her approach balances empathy with concrete tools for everyday life. Clients connect with her through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She practices from Mississippi and accepts international clients, providing flexible ways to meet depending on each person’s needs.
Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, even when anxiety is present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to lower worry and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist reflects and supports the person in finding their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. LaQunana will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other demands while pursuing steady progress.
