Briana Cunningham , LPC

Briana Cunningham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas with more than 20 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of challenges. She has worked extensively with anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, and the effects of physical, emotional, and sexual trauma. Her approach combines respect, compassion, and empathy to create an environment where clients can pursue meaningful change.

Briana integrates general systems theory with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other targeted interventions to address individual needs. General systems theory helps her see how relationships, family dynamics, and social contexts influence well-being, while CBT provides practical strategies for shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She tailors interventions to each person rather than applying a single method to every situation.

Recognizing that taking the first step toward help can be difficult, Briana emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered process and offers steady guidance as people work toward healing and stronger coping. She invites those ready to explore change to consider working together when the time feels right.

Approaches Like CBT and Motivational Interviewing for Online Care

In her online practice, Briana Cunningham commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people address specific concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can support work on anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change, often used for challenges such as addictions or readiness for behavioral shifts.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Briana works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as the work progresses so clients receive an individualized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Briana is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose how they meet. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity when schedules change, and access support from different locations while working together with a licensed professional.
