About Eunice
Dr. Eunice Ngumba-Gatabaki is a North Carolina psychologist with 22 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and related issues. Sessions are offered in English, Kikuyu, and Swahili. Her license is listed as NC Psychologist 2386 and she practices in North Carolina.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of reacting. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people finding reasons to change, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events are getting in the way of daily life.
In a session she listens to what is most pressing, then outlines small, practical steps to try between meetings. That might include simple thought records, behavior experiments, or brief goal plans. The work is structured and focused on measurable changes rather than long, open-ended discussion.
She has experience with a wide range of concerns, including addictions, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar-related issues, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, veteran and armed forces issues, and multicultural challenges. Her background supports addressing problems that span cultural contexts.

How CBT and brief therapies are used in online sessions
Dr. Ngumba-Gatabaki commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen stress or anxiety. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps like tracking thoughts, testing new reactions, and practicing specific skills between meetings.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, measurable goals. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness and commitment, while Solution-Focused work narrows attention to what can be done next.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, discuss options, and agree on a plan that matches your goals and preferences. Changes to the plan are made together if something is not working.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering remote access when a quieter setting or lower bandwidth is preferred. Licensed professionals can use these ways of meeting to keep work consistent with day-to-day routines.
