About Shaun
Shaun Cunningham is an LMHP - Licensed Mental Health Practitioner with 25 years of experience in Nebraska. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, addictions, grief, and related struggles such as sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. Shaun also lists social anxiety among the issues she addresses.
Shaun uses clear, straightforward methods in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Practical tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills are introduced at a pace that feels manageable. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to change habits related to substance use or other behaviors.
Early work concentrates on what the person wants to be different and on short-term steps they can try between sessions. Shaun draws on psychodynamic ideas when helpful to look at long-standing relationship patterns or family of origin issues. She can also help with specific problems like codependency, caregiver stress, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and struggles that follow disaster or first responder work.
People bring a mix of concerns such as ADHD symptoms, compassion fatigue, or feelings of emptiness, and Shaun helps break those down into concrete goals. She offers straightforward communication about possible approaches and next steps.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practitioner notes that fees vary by location and that a subscription model is used which can be canceled at any time.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Shaun often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve sleep or mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to manage stress and increase present-moment awareness.She also draws on client-centered ideas that keep the client's goals central, and on motivational interviewing when people want to change substance use or other habits. These approaches are explained and tried together so the person and therapist can decide what fits best for the problem at hand.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering options that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs. The therapist will discuss how to shape session length and frequency so work, parenting, or other commitments are easier to manage.
