About Khadija
Khadija Muntwanamba is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anger, stress, and overwhelming emotions. She speaks English and Swahili, and brings a calm, steady presence to conversations about hard moments. Her approach suits people who want practical skills and clear steps to feel more in control.
She uses person-centered methods to build trust and make space for each person’s story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work when thoughts and behaviors get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and coping when feelings become intense. Khadija has ten years of experience in social services and mental health settings, including medical and psychiatric units. That background informs how she notices patterns and suggests concrete changes.
She focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and problems with sleep or eating. Clients can expect straightforward conversations that identify what’s not working and try small, testable changes. Sessions may include skill practice, thought reframing, and developing routines that reduce stress.
She also addresses issues faced by first responders, people navigating immigration, and those dealing with shame, guilt, or multicultural stressors. People who need support with career strain, relationship challenges, or finding life purpose will find practical tools and ongoing support. Khadija aims to help people move from feeling stuck to having clearer steps forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to a person’s needs. In sessions she offers empathetic, nonjudgmental conversation to help people name what matters and choose the next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, depression, or anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean combining CBT skill practice with a person-centered stance or adding DBT techniques when stronger emotion regulation is needed.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter interaction is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework discussion, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling, continuity during life changes, and multiple ways to practice new skills with a licensed professional.
