Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Shaun Cunningham integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and meeting people where they are, helping clients explore their values and build self-compassion. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced thinking, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices for managing emotional reactivity and improving sleep and focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shaun works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so treatment stays aligned with progress and changing circumstances.
Online therapy with Shaun is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and helps clients access care from home or during busy days. These options can support consistent engagement, allow for different communication styles, and make it easier to integrate therapy into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and experienced therapists.
