Chinyere Tunsill , LCPC, LMHC

Chinyere Tunsill approaches therapy with the belief that people already carry many of the answers they seek and that a skilled guide can help surface those insights. She combines thoughtful questioning, practical strategies, and psychoeducation to help clients explore perspectives they may not have considered and build sustainable skills for coping and growth. Chinyere prioritizes the quality of the therapeutic relationship, aiming to create an atmosphere of warmth, compassion, and acceptance where clients feel empowered to address difficult concerns and pursue change.

She holds LCPC and LMHC credentials - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and completed an Educational Specialist degree in Mental Health Counseling at Florida Atlantic University after earning a Master of Arts from Roosevelt University. Her clinical experience spans work with youth, families, and adults, and she regularly draws on cognitive-behavioral approaches while also integrating dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing techniques as appropriate.

Chinyere works with a broad range of concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, self-esteem and interpersonal skills, anger, problem-solving, and substance use. She also brings experience in parent management training and supports clients in addressing lifestyle factors such as exercise, nutrition, and sleep hygiene as part of a comprehensive path toward wellbeing. Change can feel challenging even when it is positive, and she seeks to be a steady, encouraging partner in that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Chinyere frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy, which teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to support people coping with intense emotions and relationship challenges. Finally, she applies trauma-focused therapy to help process and reduce the impact of traumatic experiences, using techniques that gently address trauma-related symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chinyere works collaboratively with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and she tailors methods over time so the work feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Chinyere is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and allows people to connect from different locations. These options enable ongoing support that fits varied routines and life demands while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt strategies to work well in an online format.
