About Shaun
Shaun Cunningham is a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP) practicing in Nebraska with 25 years of experience. She focuses on common life stresses including anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and the strain of parenting and caregiving. Shaun also addresses addiction-related concerns and career stressors.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people untangle what prompts strong reactions. Sessions tend to identify patterns that feed stress and anger, and then try out clearer ways to respond. Shaun draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on mindfulness practices to steady attention in heated moments.
Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox when people are weighing change around substance use, habits, or routines. She also integrates client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and early family dynamics shape present behavior. This mix is used to match methods to a person’s practical goals rather than to follow a single model.
Shaun works with issues such as family conflict, blended family challenges, communication problems, abandonment, and caregiver stress. She also supports people coping with trauma, first responder stress, and the emotional effects of major life changes.
Sessions are conducted in English from Nebraska. International clients are not accepted. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, the site directs prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Shaun’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. It helps people feel heard so they can talk through strong emotions like anger and frustration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to test and change unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anger and anxiety.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice rising tension and pause before reacting. These skills support calmer responses in stressful moments and help with sleep and rumination.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Shaun will discuss goals and preferences and then try approaches that match the client’s situation. That process is collaborative, with small experiments and check-ins to see what helps in day-to-day life.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people use mindfulness or behavioral exercises between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and mindfulness practices to work in remote appointments, helping clients practice new responses to anger and stress in their usual routines.
