About Chinyere

Chinyere Tunsill welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. She frames therapy as a practical partnership where clients name their goals and work toward them together. Chinyere is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, and also holds a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, credential.

She practices in Florida and brings 11 years of experience to her work. She uses straightforward, problem-focused methods. Sessions include clear questions, skill teaching, and steps you can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Clients often address anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and challenges with mood or impulse control. She also helps people dealing with trauma, substance concerns, and struggles with self-esteem or body image. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques.

That means sessions mix practical tools for thinking and behavior with skills for managing strong emotions and motivation for change. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are getting in the way of daily life. Chinyere pays attention to relationships, communication problems, and parenting strain when those issues affect an individual.

She also discusses lifestyle factors like sleep, movement, and nutrition as part of a plan for feeling better. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people build coping skills and make steady progress. People who prefer clear steps, skill practice, and a collaborative tone often find this approach useful.

Therapy begins with small, concrete changes and grows into longer term coping strategies tailored to each person.

Approaches Chinyere names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Online approaches that teach skills and manage strong emotions

Chinyere uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for managing intense emotions and impulsive reactions. DBT provides clear skills for regulating feelings, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication when emotions run high.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then adapt techniques from CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, or trauma-focused work as needed. That collaboration helps tailor a plan that fits daily life and specific symptoms.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction and skills practice, phone sessions can fit into a workday or when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging is helpful for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use skills where they matter most.
