About Chinyere

Chinyere Tunsill is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma. She emphasizes a warm, accepting relationship where clients can talk through hard issues and uncover their own answers. Her approach aims to make change feel possible rather than overwhelming.

Chinyere draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage strong emotions and Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her work when past events shape current struggles.

She holds an Educational Specialist degree in Mental Health Counseling from Florida Atlantic University and a Master of Arts from Roosevelt University. Her listed credentials include LCPC and LMHC, and she has practiced for 11 years. Her background includes work with adults and youth in settings that addressed mood disorders, substance concerns, and parenting issues.

In sessions she combines talking, practical strategies, and education about sleep, exercise, and nutrition when relevant. Clients can expect direct questions that help reveal new perspectives and step-by-step tools to cope with strong feelings or cravings. She aims to be a steady supporter while people try things that feel difficult.

Chinyere is based in Florida and offers services in English. She accepts international clients. To begin, follow the platform Start Therapy flow and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Chinyere’s approaches work online

Chinyere commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and habits that keep problems going and then practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of exploring readiness for change and building motivation to tackle issues like substance use or difficult habits.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist and client decide together. She will ask about goals, daily life, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That information guides whether CBT exercises, motivational conversations, or trauma-focused techniques fit best for a person at the time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use focused skill practice, homework, and step-by-step plans that translate to remote sessions, helping people apply what they learn between meetings.
