Dr. Michael Cundiff

Dr. Michael Cundiff is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 45 years of experience. He greets clients with a straightforward, relationship-focused way of working. He favors sessions that let people move at their own pace and aims to respond promptly when questions arise.

He typically offers forty-five minute sessions but can be flexible to meet different needs. His work emphasizes client-centered care, meaning he partners with people to set goals and choose practical steps. He checks messages several times a day and encourages clients to raise questions anytime.

In addition to core concerns like stress, anxiety, and depression, he helps people facing grief and end-of-life issues. Other areas of focus include relationship tension, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and addiction-related struggles. He also addresses issues such as sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

His approach draws on several methods to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques are used to address thinking patterns and day-to-day coping. Motivational interviewing and narrative work support change and re-authoring personal stories when that feels helpful.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. Cost varies with location and is managed through a cancellable subscription model.

How his approaches guide online support

Client-centered therapy puts the relationship first. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, asks about what matters most, and works alongside the client to set goals. This approach helps with a wide range of concerns including grief and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers concrete tools for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and many day-to-day problems.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotional balance. These techniques can help with anger, compassion fatigue, and staying present during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to fit the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process aimed at matching strategies to what actually helps the person.

Session formats mentioned in the biography include video, email and chat, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer different ways to communicate when speaking live feels difficult. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and the type of support you want.
