About Eunice
Dr. Eunice Ngumba-Gatabaki is a clinical psychologist practicing in North Carolina. She brings 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma-related concerns.
She speaks English, Kikuyu, and Swahili and aims to create respectful, culturally aware conversations. Her work focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help when motivation or concrete goals are the priority.
Background and approach
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm is part of the picture. Sessions are designed around each person’s needs. She listens for strengths and patterns, then suggests small changes to try between meetings.
That might mean short behavior experiments, new coping strategies for anxiety, or ways to rebuild sleep and routine. She also pays attention to cultural background and military-related concerns. That can shape how problems are understood and which strategies fit best.
The aim is to match methods to the client’s life and values rather than force a single approach. Therapy often begins with a short conversation to set goals and priorities. Dr.
Ngumba-Gatabaki works collaboratively to track progress and adjust the plan. Many people find steady, simple steps easier to keep up with than large sudden changes.

Using evidence-based approaches in online therapy
Dr. Ngumba-Gatabaki uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms through concrete exercises and practice. Motivational Interviewing is used to build readiness for change; it focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps set manageable, client-driven goals.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and personal preferences and then suggest methods to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing encouragement, or when a written exchange fits someone’s schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or daily routines while using the chosen therapeutic approaches to make steady progress.
