More about Runiqa

6 years' experience
Female
LPC

I am licensed in Louisiana with 8 years of professional work experience, the last four years being with functional family issues. I utilize an integrative approach that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues (significant others and/or family relationships), family conflicts (including co-parenting), trauma and abuse, addiction, & parenting issues including assistance with parenting skills for children aged 0-18. Besides working with adults, I also have experience working with children that have disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Anger Management. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I also work with my clients to set short term and long term goals that focus on maintaining the change and support they desire. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
