About Talunja
Talunja Eskridge is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi. She combines listening and practical problem-solving to help people facing stress, depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and changes at work or home. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at making progress in clear, manageable steps.
Eskridge began her career as a social worker and later completed a Master of Science before becoming an LPC. She has worked across settings that included domestic violence services and trauma-focused work. She brings a decade of counseling under the LPC title and draws on earlier social-work experience as well.
In sessions she focuses on what clients need right now. She helps people talk through difficult feelings, develop coping strategies, and address overlapping concerns such as substance use and mood symptoms. She pays attention to how life stressors and relationships affect day-to-day functioning.
Her style centers on client-centered therapy, which starts with the person and their goals. She aims to create space for honest conversation and practical next steps rather than long theoretical sessions. She also keeps current with research to refine her methods.
People who come for help with anger, family worries, relationship strain, or career stress can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative planning. For those facing grief, trauma, or bipolar and mood concerns, she combines listening with action-focused strategies. She invites prospective clients to begin with a short matching questionnaire to see if her approach fits.
Client-Centered Care and Online Options
Client-centered therapy places the person and their goals at the center of work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set practical goals. This approach can be helpful for depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, and grief because it begins with the client’s own priorities.Because of her background in social work and counseling, Eskridge often focuses on clear steps people can try between sessions. That may include trying different coping strategies, practicing ways to talk about needs, or planning small behavior changes to reduce stress. These are discussed together so clients choose what fits their life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide whether client-centered methods or other techniques are the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences. She helps adjust the plan as progress is made.
