About Scarlett

Scarlett Cunningham is a licensed social worker in Michigan who helps people facing relationship strain, family problems, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on adoption and foster care concerns, domestic violence, self-harm, sexuality, women’s issues, and challenges common in young adulthood. Scarlett writes in a warm, straightforward way and invites an honest conversation about what’s going on.

She works with young people and adults on communication, boundaries, and building confidence.

02

How Scarlett works

Sessions often include practical coaching about consent and healthy relationship habits. Scarlett aims to match the tone of each person - sometimes direct, sometimes light - and uses humor when it fits. During early sessions she listens for what matters most and helps set clear, manageable goals.

Treatment plans are individualized and adjusted as progress is made. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while keeping work concrete and focused. Scarlett has four years of professional experience as a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work and explains steps in plain language so things feel less overwhelming. If someone is unsure what to say at first, Scarlett encourages starting where it feels possible. She aims to make the first contacts simple and supportive, then build a plan that fits the person’s life and priorities.

Online support options

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Scarlett uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-life changes. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches communication, boundary setting, and consent. This helps people who struggle in relationships or who want clearer interactions with others. Another useful approach is problem-focused therapy that breaks larger issues into manageable steps. That helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by creating small, actionable goals that can change day-to-day routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what isn’t, so the work stays practical and collaborative.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for a full session and face-to-face interaction, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing thoughts between meetings. These options let people fit therapy around work, school, and other responsibilities.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
