Dr. Michael Cundiff, LPC

Dr. Michael Cundiff is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 45 years of experience. He welcomes people who are ready to talk through life stresses and hurts. He keeps sessions focused on the person in front of him and on practical next steps.

He often works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, trauma, grief, and parenting strain. He also addresses challenges like ADHD, self-esteem, anger, sleep and eating problems, and career stress. Intimacy-related issues are included among his practice areas.

Michael uses a client-centered approach that puts the working relationship first. He and the person seeking help set goals together and decide on steps to try. He matches the way he works to each persons needs rather than following a single fixed plan.

He also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress and staying present. Narrative methods can help people reframe their stories and make sense of difficult life events.

Sessions are typically forty-five minutes, though he can be flexible when needed. He encourages pacing therapy at the client's rate and answering questions as they come up. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Online approaches that focus on relationships and daily coping

Dr. Cundiff commonly uses client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities and helps identify goals to work toward together. It is useful for people who want a collaborative, supportive relationship with their therapist.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and actions. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and many day-to-day stressors by teaching practical skills to change patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person's goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. The process is collaborative and may blend techniques rather than stick to one model.

Session length is typically forty-five minutes, though he can be flexible when needed. The original profile mentions video, email and chat as virtual formats, so please confirm current session options before booking to be sure those are available. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy life by reducing commute time and offering flexible check-in methods.
