   About Chinyere

   Chinyere Tunsill is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people move forward through stress, anxiety, grief, mood changes, and addiction concerns. She uses straightforward questions and practical tools to help people find clearer next steps. Her style is warm and accepting to help people feel heard and respected before making changes.

   She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions link together, to help people spot patterns and try different responses. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions and Motivational Interviewing techniques to support readiness for change. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past hurts are a central concern.

   Chinyere holds an Educational Specialist degree in Mental Health Counseling from Florida Atlantic University and a Master of Arts from Roosevelt University. She is credentialed as an LCPC and as an LMHC, and she has over 11 years of clinical experience. Her background includes work with adults and youth and experience addressing substance use and parenting-related issues.

   In sessions she offers practical strategies like problem-solving, emotion regulation skills, and brief psychoeducation about sleep, exercise, and nutrition. She emphasizes the relationship as the central factor for progress and aims to create an atmosphere of compassion and nonjudgment.

   People who want a collaborative, question-based approach that mixes skill-building with motivation work may find her style helpful. She practices in Florida and communicates in English, and she accepts international clients.

2. How these approaches work in online care

   Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and resolve mixed feelings about change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces practical exercises to try new ways of thinking and behaving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can make overwhelming moments more manageable.
   
   Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, current challenges, and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as progress is made and needs change.
   
   The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches lend themselves to homework and skills practice between meetings, which can work well when sessions are scheduled around daily life. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and coaching to the online setting so clients can practice skills where they live and work.
