Talunja Eskridge, LPC

Talunja Eskridge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi who brings a decade of clinical experience to her work. She previously worked as a social worker before earning her LPC, and she applies that background when supporting individuals and families navigating complex challenges. Talunja focuses on addictions, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, anxiety and stress, relationship and family concerns, grief and anger, self-esteem difficulties, career issues, and coping with life changes.

Her practice emphasizes empathetic, client-centered methods and evidence-informed care designed to meet each person where they are. Talunja has worked with survivors of domestic violence, clients managing trauma and comorbid substance use, and those facing depression and anxiety, tailoring interventions to the particular needs and goals of each individual. As an LPC - a state-licensed mental health professional - she aims to create a respectful, goal-oriented environment that supports healing, practical problem solving, and growth for clients and their families.

Client-Centered Care and Online Access

Talunja uses client-centered therapy, an approach that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting each person’s own goals. This style helps clients explore feelings, build self-awareness, and develop coping strategies for issues such as trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and self-esteem concerns.

She also integrates evidence-informed strategies into her work, drawing on research-backed techniques to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and substance use when appropriate. These practical methods are applied with attention to each client’s history and current needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Talunja works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best with their preferences, goals, and circumstances. Together they adjust direction as needed to support progress.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to schedule sessions around daily life, attend from different locations, and maintain continuity of care. These formats offer flexibility and accessibility so clients can focus on meaningful work with a licensed professional.
