Background and approach
Dr. Cunningham prefers a collaborative pace so people set goals that fit their lives. In practice she listens first, then offers techniques grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when they seem useful.
That work often includes short, actionable exercises to try between sessions and regular check-ins on progress. She helps people tailor coping plans to their daily routines and limits. Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical experience in Ohio as an OH LPCC, working with people through loss, shifting roles, and ongoing stress.
She explains concepts simply and checks in to make sure recommendations feel realistic. People who choose her often want practical tools and steady support while navigating change. She focuses on skills you can use right away, clear ways to track progress, and adapting approaches as needs evolve.
Online approaches and practical options
Dr. Cunningham commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, test them against reality, and practice small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression.She emphasizes working together to pick the right approach. That means reviewing goals, trying techniques, and adjusting the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools fit their needs and daily routines.
Her online practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls work well for in-depth sessions and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or to fit a work break. Live chat or text messaging is useful for quick check-ins, brief problem-solving, and homework support between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life while keeping the work focused on concrete skills and progress.
