Chinyere Tunsill, LCPC, LMHC

Chinyere Tunsill approaches therapy with the belief that people often carry the answers to their challenges within themselves, and that a skilled guide can help unlock those insights by asking focused questions, offering evidence-based strategies, and providing psychoeducation. She emphasizes that progress depends on both the client’s engagement and the quality of the therapeutic relationship, and she strives to create a warm, compassionate, and accepting space where clients feel empowered to address their concerns and pursue change.

She holds professional counseling credentials - LCPC and LMHC - which qualify her to practice mental health counseling, and she completed an Educational Specialist degree in Mental Health Counseling at Florida Atlantic University after earning a Master of Arts from Roosevelt University. Her clinical experience spans work with youth, families, and adults, and she commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while also applying Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques as needed. She addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, self-esteem, anger, interpersonal skills, problem-solving, and decision-making, and she also has training in parent management strategies and substance use support.

Tunsill integrates practical lifestyle considerations into care, viewing exercise, balanced nutrition, and healthy sleep habits as important complements to therapeutic work. She recognizes that even positive change can feel difficult, and she aims to support clients as a steady advocate and partner through that process.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Chinyere Tunsill commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical approach that helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques - skills-focused strategies that build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Motivational Interviewing is employed when ambivalence about change is present - this collaborative style helps clarify personal goals and strengthen motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving health behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tunsill works with each client to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors techniques accordingly so that therapy aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit care into busy schedules, manage transportation or mobility limits, and maintain continuity of support across locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured, goal-focused therapy while adapting pacing and tools to each client’s circumstances.
