About Chinyere

Chinyere Tunsill is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 11 years of clinical experience based in Florida. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, parenting concerns, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related issues. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear strategies people can use between meetings.

She draws heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when useful. Sessions often include straightforward skills practice, problem-solving, and psychoeducation. Clients are invited to try small experiments and homework to test what helps in daily life.

Chinyere values a strong working relationship and asks questions that help people notice patterns they may have missed. She talks through concrete techniques for coping with mood swings, managing impulses, and improving communication. She also addresses substance use, self-harm behaviors, and the emotional effects of trauma.

Her background includes a Master of Arts and an Educational Specialist degree in Mental Health Counseling. The profile reflects years of work with adults and experience that included youth and families in earlier roles. She recommends attention to exercise, sleep, and nutrition alongside therapy where relevant.

Practical change can feel uncomfortable, and sessions aim to be steady and focused. People looking for clear tools to handle parenting stress, relationship strain at home, grief, or ongoing mood and impulse challenges may find this approach helpful.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Chinyere uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often include one or two practical exercises, brief worksheets, and steps to try between meetings to reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-informed work focuses on skill-building and short practice tasks that can be reviewed together during sessions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether CBT techniques, DBT skills, or motivational interviewing methods fit the client’s needs and priorities.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow for briefer check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt homework, worksheets, and skills practice to remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
