Background and approach
The work is hands-on and goal focused, with simple exercises to practice between meetings. Dr. Cunningham holds an LPCC, which is the Ohio professional counseling credential.
She has 17 years of experience working with common emotional struggles. That experience shapes an approachable style that emphasizes respect and practical progress. Sessions move at a pace that fits each person.
Conversations are straightforward and warm. She aims to help people build skills they can use day to day to reduce stress and manage mood. Many clients come for help with specific problems like anxiety or grief.
Others want support through a life transition or help juggling parenting demands while coping with low mood. Dr. Cunningham works with each person to set realistic goals and track small steps forward.
How CBT and online sessions work together
Dr. Cunningham uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps, teaches practical coping strategies, and gives short exercises to practice between sessions. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and grief when someone wants clear tools to manage day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and do deeper conversational work. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill coaching, or flexible support during the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent progress.
