Sunita Nandhuri, LMFT

Direct, practical support for stress and relationships

About Sunita

Sunita Nandhuri helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and major life changes. She provides steady support and practical tools to make everyday life feel more manageable.

Background and approach

She keeps sessions straightforward and action-focused. Sunita uses mindfulness and cognitive strategies alongside real-life problem solving.

That means clients learn ways to notice thoughts, calm strong emotions, and try small changes that add up. Her work also addresses concerns like body image, social anxiety, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness.

She pays attention to cultural and immigration issues and supports people navigating blended family dynamics and midlife transitions. Sunita brings 25 years of experience to her practice.

She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, in California and draws on long-term clinical experience to guide each session toward practical steps and clearer choices. Sessions are designed to fit into busy lives.

Sunita uses a mix of short skill-building exercises, reflective conversation, and planning for what to try between sessions. The emphasis is on getting results that feel useful in daily life.

People who want direct, compassionate help with mood, relationships, or life transitions will find a steady, experienced clinician who aims to make therapy understandable and doable.

Evidence-based techniques for online healing

Sunita uses mindfulness practices to help people notice and steady strong emotions, often pairing brief exercises with everyday routines to reduce anxiety and reactivity. She also uses cognitive approaches that help identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced, doable ways of thinking and acting. These approaches are helpful for mood disorders, social anxiety, and navigating relationship stress.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and what feels comfortable, then try techniques together and adjust plans over time. Clients help decide which methods to keep using based on what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people keep a face-to-face rhythm when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick skill practice, brief updates, or steady support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while still using evidence-based techniques.
