About Shaun
Shaun Cunningham is a licensed mental health professional with 25 years of experience. She helps people cope with stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and work or career concerns. Shaun also supports those facing trauma, addictions, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and questions about identity and self-esteem.
Her approach is straightforward and centered on the person in front of her. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client - reducing upsetting reactions, improving communication, and finding practical ways to handle daily pressures.
Background and approach
She draws on tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to shape goals with each person. Shaun mixes short-term focused methods with deeper exploration when needed. Mindfulness practices are used to calm intense emotions and improve sleep.
Motivational interviewing helps when people want to change addictive behaviors or make a major life shift. She brings real-world experience addressing family problems, caregiver stress, blended family issues, codependency, and the fallout from divorce or separation. First responder issues, compassion fatigue, and coping with disaster are also areas she attends to with practical strategies and steady support.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in Nebraska. Shaun uses an adaptable style that balances listening with clear, doable steps clients can try between meetings. The work aims to help people feel steadier, regain control over reactions like anger, and move forward with clearer choices.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience first. The therapist listens closely and responds to what the client brings. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals based on their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can reduce anger, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and calming skills. Simple practices help reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shaun works with clients to weigh goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities and then adapts methods over time. She may use brief solution-focused steps early on, then add deeper work when needed.
Online care offers flexibility and several practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or shorter coaching-style exchanges between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
