About Shaun
Shaun Cunningham is an LMHP with 25 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, and relationship strain. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for someone juggling work and family life.
She listens first, then focuses on small, useful changes. Sessions often start by identifying one or two problems to work on. Shaun uses methods that help people manage feelings, improve sleep, and handle everyday pressures without overwhelming plans.
Her background spans long-term counseling work across many settings. That experience informs a flexible style that combines listening with tools you can try between sessions. She draws on approaches that encourage self-awareness, behavioral change, and clearer communication.
Shaun works with people on issues such as parenting stress, addiction concerns, compassion fatigue, and career-related strain. She also helps those coping with trauma, abandonment, blended family problems, and family-of-origin conflicts. Sleeping and rest difficulties are part of her practice and are addressed alongside other life challenges.
Clients can expect a calm, steady presence in sessions and a focus on practical steps. Shaun will tailor techniques to each person's needs and pace. To begin, she asks a few questions to match priorities and then makes a plan that fits daily life.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can talk through what matters most. It helps with anxiety, grief, and feeling stuck by making space for the person to lead the pace and topics.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve rest. These skills can help with anger, racing thoughts at night, and coping with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shaun will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. The choice is collaborative and may change over time as needs shift.
If you plan to try online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your schedule and daily routine.
