Shaun Cunningham, LMHP

Shaun Cunningham is an LMHP with 25 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship struggles, and career concerns. Shaun works with issues such as sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She practices in Nebraska and communicates in English.

Shaun uses a practical, person-centered style in sessions. She pays attention to each person’s story and tailors conversation to what they need right now. Sessions often include problem-solving, learning new ways to think about difficult situations, and building small habits that make daily life easier.

Her background spans many areas of emotional and life stress. Shaun draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work to change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness to help manage strong emotions, and psychodynamic ideas to understand long-standing patterns. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are also part of her toolkit when people want clear goals and steps forward.

People who come to Shaun often need help with family and blended family concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, or the aftermath of divorce and separation. She also supports those dealing with first responder stress, substance concerns, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment.

Shaun emphasizes a calm, respectful atmosphere where people can speak openly and try new ways of coping. To begin, visitors use the site’s Start Therapy flow, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Shaun's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to each person. In this approach Shaun follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps people find their own solutions, which can be useful for stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger by teaching practical skills and small experiments to try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce emotional reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can help when stress, trauma memories, or racing thoughts get in the way of daily tasks.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shaun will talk with each person about their needs and goals and suggest methods that fit those priorities. She adapts strategies over time based on what is most helpful and what a person prefers.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in the real world and then bring observations back to the next meeting.
