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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
