Shaun Cunningham

Shaun Cunningham is an LMHP with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and the everyday strains of family life. Shaun also supports clients facing grief, addiction concerns, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career changes, and compassion fatigue.

Shaun uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions around each person's needs. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to offer practical tools. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, learning coping skills, and addressing the effects of past trauma on daily life.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Shaun aims to make therapy a place to talk honestly, try small changes, and track what helps. She emphasizes simple practices people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage strong emotions, and improve sleep.

With a long career in clinical work, Shaun brings experience with complex life transitions and varied emotional concerns. She pays attention to family of origin issues, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, and problems with boundaries and control. First responder issues and addiction challenges are also within her focus.

Shaun works from Nebraska and conducts sessions in English. People interested in beginning therapy start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability. The subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on carefully addressing the effects of past trauma. It helps people reduce the ways traumatic memories and reactions interfere with daily life and relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, using active listening and empathy to help people feel heard and to guide their own progress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaun will collaborate with each person to identify goals and pick methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying different strategies and adjusting as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. It can also help people practice skills in the settings where they live and work. Ask about scheduling and session length when completing the matching questionnaire so arrangements match daily routines and goals.
