CBT involves setting clear goals, testing new ways of thinking, and practicing strategies between sessions to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, and grief.

Dr. Cunningham emphasizes a collaborative process where the therapist and client work together to find the best therapeutic fit. She will explore client goals, preferences, and life context to tailor interventions and adjust techniques as needed, making recommendations that align with each person's priorities.
