About Michael
Dr. Michael Cundiff is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Missouri with 45 years of clinical experience. He works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy challenges, codependency, parenting and caregiver stress. He conducts sessions in English and encourages questions at any time.
His work emphasizes a client-centered approach where the person and counselor set goals together. Sessions are often 45 minutes long, though he can be flexible about length when needed. He uses relationship-based conversation to help people name what matters and choose practical steps to change patterns.
Dr. Cundiff also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness techniques surface in sessions to help with stress, sleep, and focus. Motivational interviewing ideas support people who want to change habits such as substance use or motivation at work.
He is willing to communicate between sessions and checks messages several times a day with prompt responses. The practice recommends people move at their own rate, and he encourages discussing pacing and expectations up front.
Clients should confirm available session formats before booking and be ready to complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule their first appointment. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Cundiff uses client-centered therapy to build a working relationship. That means conversations focus on the person's concerns and goals, with the counselor helping to shape steps forward. It is useful for relationship issues, codependency patterns, and figuring out what to change.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors keeping problems going. CBT is practical and action-oriented, and often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and unwanted habits. Mindfulness techniques appear in sessions as simple practices to reduce stress and improve attention, useful when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process may shift over time as progress is made.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking. When you arrange care you will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, help keep regular check-ins, and allow options such as shorter contacts or email notes between visits depending on the formats offered.
