About Khadija
Khadija Muntwanamba is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who focuses on practical support for everyday parenting challenges. She speaks English and Swahili and draws on a decade of clinical experience to help parents feel steadier at home. Khadija approaches sessions with a calm, listening-first style.
She helps parents talk through stress, anxiety, grief, sleep and eating struggles, addiction concerns, and the everyday strain of caregiving. Her work also addresses relationship strain, intimacy-related concerns, and career or life changes that affect parenting.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward, hands-on methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness practices. That means sessions focus on goals you set, changing unhelpful thoughts and routines, and simple exercises to reduce stress. Khadija also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming.
Her background includes ten years in social services and experience in medical and psychiatric settings. This experience informs how she helps people navigate systems, appointments, and care for loved ones when stress is high. She often helps people untangle competing demands and set realistic routines.
Khadija aims to collaborate with each person to build clear, doable steps forward. Many clients leave sessions with simpler plans for sleep, meals, boundaries, and managing overwhelm. She accepts people who communicate in English or Swahili and works with some international clients.

Approaches and online support for parenting and stress
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your priorities. The therapist follows your lead, helps you clarify what matters most, and builds plans around goals you set. This approach suits parents who want a nonjudgmental space to sort out problems and decide next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and routines affect feelings and behavior. Sessions break big problems into smaller steps, teach specific skills for changing unhelpful thinking, and set simple behavioral experiments. CBT often helps with anxiety, sleep issues, and low mood that interfere with parenting.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds practical emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Those tools are useful when emotions feel intense and make daily tasks harder. Khadija may draw on DBT skills alongside CBT and client-centered work when strong emotions are part of the concern.
Picking the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she will suggest techniques and adjust the plan so it fits your life and the challenges you bring.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets you reflect on thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
