About Zunilda
Zunilda Chaudry brings 13 years of counseling experience and a calm, compassionate presence to her work. She is licensed as an LPCC in California and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting-related strain. Her style is warm and validating, and she aims to help people feel heard and respected in sessions.
She draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape practical plans with each person.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on real-life problems like anger, low self-esteem, communication struggles, and social anxiety. Therapy sessions include goal-setting, skills practice, and checking what is most useful between meetings. Zunilda also supports people dealing with abandonment wounds, post-traumatic stress, forgiveness work, and building self-love.
Her background includes work with diverse cultural groups, and she adapts her approach to reflect each person’s values and experience. She emphasizes strengths and resilience throughout the process. Sessions typically involve straightforward, action-oriented steps paired with empathetic listening.
Zunilda helps people notice patterns that get in the way and then practices new ways of responding. The emphasis is on small, achievable changes that add up over time. Clients who respond well to a collaborative and practical counselor will find her approach accessible.
She guides conversations so people can move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many of the techniques Zunilda uses focus on clear, teachable skills that transfer well to remote sessions. Cognitive-based strategies help people identify unhelpful thoughts and build more balanced thinking; these are practiced through conversation and between-session exercises that are easy to assign over video or messaging.Behavioral techniques emphasize action - setting small goals, testing new behaviors, and tracking results. These are practical tools for managing anxiety, improving motivation, and reducing avoidance, and they work across video calls, phone check-ins, and written homework in chat or text.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That partnership helps pick techniques that feel doable and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, share updates, and practice skills in writing. Together, these formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep steady progress.
