About LaQunana
LaQunana Cistrunk uses a client-centered, practical approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience and offers straightforward support for life changes and identity questions. She focuses on clear, doable steps that people can try between sessions.
Conversations often cover coping skills, communication, and rebuilding a sense of self after a difficult change. Sessions are paced to fit each person's needs and goals.
Background and approach
Cistrunk brings experience supporting LGBT concerns and gender dysphoria as one part of a broader practice that includes body image, isolation, and relationship communication problems. She also helps people facing abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, aging concerns, and challenges related to intellectual disability. Her approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused methods.
That blend is used to clarify values, shift unhelpful thoughts, and practice new ways of relating to oneself and others. People can expect a respectful, culturally aware therapist who listens first and suggests strategies second. Cistrunk aims to make change feel manageable by breaking goals into small, realistic steps.
Her work centers on helping people feel steadier, more connected, and more able to move forward. She provides services from Mississippi and communicates in English. The practice accepts international clients and offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps people tolerate tough feelings while building a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behavior. It teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and to change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has felt helpful in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let the therapist and client see one another and practice communication in real time. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and options for people who prefer writing over talking. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practice new skills in everyday moments.
