Since I have started with Shaun I have improved so much in the few months I’ve been with her. I’ve improved more in 3 months than I did in 2 years with my last therapist. I love Shaun!

More about Shaun
- 23 years' experience
- Female
- LMHP
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Nebraska with 23 years of experience. I have done both office-based and home-based counseling and have worked with a range of concerns--addressing everything from codependency to anxiety to depression to Al-Anon issues.
My counseling style is based on person-centered therapy. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and your perspective is critical to resolving your issues. Showing respect, empathy, and compassion to all people is of the upmost importance to me. However, my main theoretical approach stems from the Cognitive Behavioral therapeutic school of thought.
It takes courage to seek assistance help you are struggling with life's stressors. I look forward to meeting you and hopefully providing the support you need to resolve any matters that are causing you distress or emotional pain.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Since I have started with Shaun I have improved so much in the few months I’ve been with her. I’ve improved more in 3 months than I did in 2 years with my last therapist. I love Shaun!
Shaun listens very well and is compassionate, kind, and empathetic! She takes the time to go through your problems and offers great help.
As Shaun and I work together I have developed a deep respect for her and the work that we do. She has gotten to know me in a way that she knows how to challenge me to progress to my goals .
Shaun does Amazing work and explains everything clearer in her own words and she really sits and listens to any concerns you are having a hard time with. 10/10 would recommend her!
She’s kind and is helping me understand myself better and what I want and is helping me communicate better with people.
Shaun has been my therapist for over 3 years. When I started I was desperate for my family to be fixed. I could not see past my pain. I did not know how to express myself. My feelings and thoughts were so tangled. Shaun patiently listened and asked questions until I could start verbalizing my inner struggles. At times I just wanted her to tell me what I was thinking and feeling so I did not have to do the work! I am grateful she pursued showing me how to identify my thoughts. I have been given the gift of my life back. My family has not been fixed but I am healing and it feels great! I will continue my counseling because I want to continue healing.
Shaun takes the time necessary to listen to everything I have to say. She understands what my struggles are and we are talking about next steps which is super exciting. I look forward to our time together.
Shaun has been a tremendous help and blessing to me for the past year. She has helped me navigate through some very difficult areas in my life, and I appreciate all the expertise and life experience she brings to our sessions. It is truly a pleasure having her as my therapist, and I highly recommend her to anyone!
Great
Shaun is a professional and caring therapist. She listens to all your problems and concerns in how you feel or how you’re feeling about all and different scenarios. She has excellent coping mechanisms. 10/10 would recommend.
Shaun has been easy to talk to. Her insight is great and feel confident in the goals set
Shaun's empathetic insights has provided me new perspectives on managing my life's challenges.
Shaun is a wonderful therapist. She is a great listener and her curriculum is very helpful. I feel that I’ve learned a lot from my sessions with her. She is compassionate and affirming. I highly recommend her as a therapist!
Shaun is very professional and listens to my needs and concerns and the way I feel about different situations that don’t necessarily sit right with me. She is very understanding and caring! I would highly recommend Shaun!
Shaun is a very caring and thoughtful therapist. I always feel like she listens to what I say, and she makes sure we get the most out of our sessions.
She listens and is always there for me. She helps me through everything
Shaun is amazing. She listens with intent and works to make sure she understand you. She is amazing at finding what works best for you and what you're facing. I have seen such a change in myself in such a short amount of time with the help and guidance Shaun has provided me
Very sweet lady. Attentive and kind. Highly recommend.
Amazing and professional therapist. I felt a big change in my life before and after talking to someone.
Fantastic therapist, always available, thoughtful and thorough!
Shaun has been very kind and patient with my antics while also being an attentive listener. Overall very supportive!
My life has improved immensely in the last 2 years since meeting with Shaun. I feel heard and seen. I am encouraged to remember my confidence in my decisions.
Shaun tries to get at the heart of my issues. Oftentimes I truly don’t know how to start processing events in my life. Shaun helps me look at what I think/feel instead of how I think I’m supposed to think/feel. This helps me feel confident that I’m capable of making decisions about the events in my life.
Shaun has helped me tremendously over the past year. On top of handling all of the added stresses of the pandemic, I was able to experience a lot of personal growth with her help and support.
Awesome
Shaun has helped me through so much while I’ve been trying to come back to myself as a whole being. I’m able to fully open up my self to her which I’ve had a hard time doing in the past.
Shaun has been extremely supportive of me in our sessions over the past year. She is always very insightful into the things I am dealing with, and her suggestions and questions feel very tailored to me and what works for me. I can see and feel the growth I have made over this past year, and I know it is thanks to my work with her.
When I started with counseling I had no idea what to expect. All I knew was that I was desperate for help. I have found, through almost one year of counseling with Shaun , that she has listened and helped me find my own way. She has not told me what to do but help me learn that I can have the confidence to do what I need to do. When she learned more of my story she referred me to Alanon. This has propelled me on a path of healing….. and a journey that I will continue through my life When I have felt like I’m in a crisis mode in between sessions, I have no hesitation in reaching out and messaging for support.
Shaun is the absolute best! She has helped me so much in the last year, and I don’t know how I would have survived without her.
Shaun is great! I look forward to our weekly sessions and she has really helped me to deal with my anxiety
The best way to do something like this accurately would have to take a little more time. 2 dates doesn't make a relationship perfect.
Shaun is an amazing counselor and I can’t thank her enough for all that she has done for me.
Shaun was such a great match for me. She made me feel safe and supported in a time where I felt like I was going crazy. She helped me more than I could have imagined!
Thought the first few sessions Dr. Cunningham has been absolutely amazing. Really helping make progress in the right direction, for the first time doing this I’m happy I was paired with such an amazing conselor
Shaun has been the best therapist that I have ever worked with. She actively listens and and brings up valid points while still allowing you to be in control of the content of the session. Shaun is also kind hearted with a sense of humor that puts you at ease. You will definitely benefit from working with Shaun!
I met with Shaun for about 2 months. She was a good listener and sounding board for me during a very difficult time. I appreciated her ability to name some of my behaviors as codependent or unhealthy. She also always created room for me to come to my own conclusion as to how to solve my problems. I tended to do most of the talking, but Shaun's created a safe space and provided valuable input.
Shaun has been a great counselor so far, she is very understanding and thoughtful about the discussion, and provides helpful feedback and insights. We’ve only had a handful of sessions, and I’ve already been able to make small changes in my life and unload some of the stress through our sessions. Looking forward to continuing to work together.
Shaun has been a wonderful counselor to me since I signed up for BetterHelp. I’m someone who struggles a lot with anxiety and has always been made nervous by phone calls, so I was worried about starting Teletherapy, but Shaun immediately made me feel very comfortable. In every session, it is clear that I am heard and that I am supported. She listens to me, validates my feelings, and helps me find ways to move forward and grow. She is an excellent counselor and I am very glad to have her in my corner.
Very grateful for my time with Shaun! Not only did I feel heard and understood, but she provided me with actionable steps and goals to help me move in the right direction. I left our sessions feeling lighter, more in control (which is saying a lot during this crazy time with so much out of our control), and generally, well, better! I also really appreciate her patience and flexibility, she never minded if I needed to step away to tend to my toddler or switch tech modes due to lost connection. I would love to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her.
Since we first started talking it has been an unfolding helpful experience. I have seen things differently and practiced them in my daily life. I attribute this to my counselor, who made it very easy to open up and learn the things about myself I wasnt seeing. Shes down to earth and open minded. I enjoy my weekly sessions and look forward to the next.
I've been speaking with Shaun at least once a week for the past few months. When I first came to her, my life had gone through a lot of changes and I had a lot to work though. I didn't really have a positive self image and I wasn't comfortable standing on my own in social situations. Shaun's helped me to have a better sense of self worth. I'm more comfortable around people. I also feel like I'm better able to advocate for myself at work. I'm also much less depressed and generally things feel more positive. I'm not sure I'm quite though this yet, but Shaun's professionalism, kindness, and patience has been really helpful.
Shaun was extremely helpful and available. She listened, remembered key details, and provided resources for my anxiety. I really value my sessions with Shaun!
Shaun is thorough, follows up on concerns, and great at looking at the whole picture of your life to help get to the root of your concerns.
Shaun is thoughtful and engaged, showing flexibility and creativity through different styles of conversation, probing, and active listening. I feel that it's likely I'll make improvements on my key concerns by working with her.
