About Eunice
Dr. Eunice Ngumba-Gatabaki is a licensed psychologist in North Carolina with more than two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, goal-oriented help for common concerns like stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and ADHD.
Her language skills include English, Kikuyu, and Swahili, which she uses to ease communication when helpful. She favors straightforward conversations and clear plans. Sessions aim to identify what is most urgent, set small goals, and try techniques that fit daily life.
Background and approach
She adapts care to each person's cultural background and life story rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Her background includes work with trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and addiction-related concerns. She also supports people facing challenges tied to military service and multicultural adjustment.
Over 22 years she has mixed structured methods with listening to find practical next steps. Dr. Ngumba-Gatabaki uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside solution-focused and trauma-informed strategies.
That means she blends skill-building, brief goal work, and attention to past hurts when those matters come up. She helps people try new behaviors and weigh what matters most. Expect sessions that are calm, direct, and tuned to real-life demands.
She will work with each person to set achievable steps, review progress, and adjust the plan. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process understandable and manageable.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Dr. Ngumba-Gatabaki draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and hands-on, useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and everyday stress. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and find their own reasons to make change, which fits concerns like addiction, health behavior, and motivation to try new habits.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try first and check progress regularly, adjusting steps based on what feels useful to the client.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can pick what suits their day. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text help fit brief updates into busy schedules and allow ongoing reminders of techniques between longer sessions.
