About LaQunana
LaQunana Cistrunk is a licensed clinical social worker who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people sort through intense emotions and improve important relationships. She combines that work with practical tools from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based approaches. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more understood.
LaQunana draws on 13 years of clinical experience across multiple states. She meets people where they are and focuses on issues like stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also provides support around topics such as gender dysphoria, body image, abandonment, and challenges connected to adoption and foster care. In sessions she uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to identify and shift the feelings that drive repeated patterns. She may add short-term, goal-focused tools from Solution-Focused Therapy or cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking patterns and day-to-day coping.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used when people want to make values-based choices while managing difficult emotions. Clients can expect a respectful, culturally aware conversation that focuses on what matters to them. LaQunana explains options plainly and helps people choose what fits their goals.
Her working priority is helping people build clearer communication with themselves and others. She practices in Mississippi and communicates in English. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Online support
How Emotion-Focused and Practical Therapies Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name the strong emotions that drive their behavior. It guides gentle shifts in how people respond to those feelings, which can change patterns of interaction and personal distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts and actions affect mood, offering concrete exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in living by their values while accepting difficult feelings, useful when someone wants to move forward despite ongoing stress or uncertainty.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, try specific techniques, and adjust as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay aligned with what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to connect between appointments or to share thoughts in writing. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines while keeping the therapeutic work focused and consistent.
