Talunja Eskridge

Talunja Eskridge is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses a client-centered approach to support people facing anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She practices in Mississippi and speaks English. Talunja aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters and make practical changes that fit their lives.

With ten years as an LPC, she brings experience working across trauma, domestic violence, substance use, and mood concerns. Her earlier career as a social worker also shapes her perspective on practical supports and community resources. This background helps her notice how life circumstances and relationships affect emotions like anger or grief.

In sessions she focuses on listening closely and helping clients set clear, achievable goals. She uses client-centered techniques to follow each person’s pace and priorities while offering tools for coping and behavior change. Conversations are grounded and straightforward to make work feel manageable.

Talunja values evidence-informed methods and keeps up with research to improve care. She frames therapy as problem-solving together, using simple strategies for stress, impulse control, and mood regulation. Her style is direct but empathetic, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who schedule with Talunja can expect practical plans, regular check-ins on progress, and adjustments when needed. She encourages clients to try small steps between sessions to build skills and reduce overwhelm over time.

Client-centered approaches and online therapy options

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and guides conversations so clients can set their own goals and move at a comfortable pace. This approach is often helpful for anger, grief, anxiety, and stress because it centers what the person wants to change.

Her background in social work and counseling also shapes a practical, problem-solving stance. She uses that practical frame to help people develop coping skills, manage strong emotions, and make actionable plans between sessions. The work is collaborative, with the client and therapist adjusting strategies based on what helps most.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Talunja will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend ways of working that fit. Together they decide what to try and check regularly to see if it’s helping.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered work to remote sessions while focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
