About Michael

Dr. Michael Cundiff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who brings 45 years of experience to his therapeutic work. He approaches counseling from a client-centered, relationship-based perspective that emphasizes collaboration - working with each person to set goals and develop practical strategies for change. He encourages clients to share their thoughts and priorities so the work can reflect individual needs and values.

Sessions commonly run about 45 minutes, although he remains flexible to accommodate different expectations and schedules. He offers virtual formats including video, email, and chat, and invites clients to move at a pace that feels comfortable for them. He monitors messages several times daily and aims to respond promptly to questions or scheduling needs.

Dr. Cundiff enjoys connecting with people and prefers a gentle, collaborative style that values the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for progress. Prospective clients can review his hours and availability on his profile and reach out with any initial questions as they consider beginning counseling. He looks forward to speaking with new clients and supporting them through life changes and challenges.

Client-Centered and Cognitive Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Michael Cundiff combines client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques to support people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, and other life challenges. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship and honoring the client’s perspective - the therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client set mutually agreed upon goals. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and working step-by-step to develop more effective coping strategies, often useful for anxiety, depression, eating, and sleep issues. Mindfulness therapy introduces practices that increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress, emotional regulation, and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Cundiff works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time and invites client feedback to refine the plan together.

Online therapy with Dr. Cundiff is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from home while working with an experienced licensed professional.
