Talunja Eskridge, LPC

Talunja Eskridge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi. She brings a decade of LPC practice to people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Talunja aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and start finding practical steps forward.

Before becoming an LPC, Talunja worked as a social worker for many years and later completed a master's degree to earn her LPC credential. That combined background shaped her approach to common struggles like trauma, substance use, and domestic violence. She draws on a long history of hands-on work with these issues.

In sessions she uses client-centered therapy, focusing on each person’s experience and goals. Conversations are guided by what matters most to the individual rather than rigid techniques. She listens, reflects, and helps people identify straightforward coping strategies for daily stressors.

Talunja also supports people through grief, anger, relationship challenges, career transitions, and changes that disrupt routine life. She is attentive to comorbid concerns such as bipolar symptoms alongside substance use. Her style aims to be practical and responsive to each person’s needs.

Talunja values ongoing learning and looks to research to inform care. People who choose to work with her can expect a steady, problem-solving partner who prioritizes clear goals and realistic steps toward better day-to-day functioning.

Client-centered care adapted for remote help

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s own experience and goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people decide which steps feel most useful. This approach can be helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it starts from the issues the person brings.

Talunja’s background as a social worker and as an LPC informs how she applies client-centered work. She aims to work alongside people to identify practical coping strategies and realistic goals. Figuring out the right approach is a collaborative process and she will adjust methods based on each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote options useful for maintaining continuity of care during life transitions and for addressing stress and anxiety without rearranging large parts of the day.
