Chinyere Tunsill is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and parenting struggles. She speaks plain, direct language and aims to make therapy feel like a practical space for real change. Her style centers on clear strategies and steady support so clients can try new ways of coping and make steady progress.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to build emotional regulation and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. Trauma-focused work is part of her approach when past harm shapes current struggles.

She has practiced for 11 years and holds LCPC and LMHC credentials, including an NV LCPC and MA LMHC. Her experience includes work with adults and youth and with issues such as substance use and parent management skills.

In sessions she will offer practical tools alongside conversations that help clients uncover their own answers. She also highlights lifestyle supports like exercise, sleep habits, and nutrition as useful complements to therapy.

Chinyere sees clients in Florida and offers services in English. She accepts international clients and uses a mix of session formats to fit different needs.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Chinyere commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify thought patterns that influence feelings and actions and then practice different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or depression. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach concrete techniques for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing a method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend approaches to try. Sessions often combine skill practice, goal setting, and short homework tasks so the client can test changes between meetings.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video lets clients work face-to-face when a longer conversation is needed, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging provide brief, focused touchpoints for between-session coaching or when writing feels more comfortable. These options add flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel.
