About Chinyere
Chinyere Tunsill offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and major life changes. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps that help day-to-day functioning. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people name problems and try clear strategies for change.
With 11 years of experience, she draws on several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a common starting point to spot unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors.
How Chinyere works
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation and impulsivity are central concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps when motivation or substance use is an obstacle to progress. Chinyere holds LCPC and LMHC credentials and practices in Florida.
She emphasizes a strong working relationship as the basis for change and blends therapy with practical self-care habits like sleep, movement, and nutrition. That combination helps people handle mood disorders, anger, and coping with life transitions. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and issues such as body image, abandonment, and communication problems.
Sessions include psychoeducation, skill-building, and goal-focused planning tailored to each person’s needs. Chinyere aims to be a steady partner through difficult shifts. She encourages clients to try small, sustainable steps and revisits what’s working.
The emphasis is on realistic change and building skills that carry into everyday life.

How her approaches fit online therapy
Chinyere commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions or impulsivity get in the way. Motivational Interviewing is used to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change, such as with substance use or lifestyle shifts.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. Chinyere emphasizes working together to find the best mix of strategies for each person’s situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be lighter check-ins or an option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, between-session support, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity when life is unpredictable.
