Dr. Michael Cundiff, LPC

Dr. Michael Cundiff is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Missouri with 45 years of experience. He sees adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and a wide range of life challenges. He works with people who also bring issues like grief, trauma, addiction, ADHD, career strain, and intimacy or self-esteem struggles.

He prefers a client-centered approach that focuses on the relationship between counselor and client. That means he and the client set goals together and agree on ways to work toward them. Sessions commonly run about 45 minutes, though he can be flexible if different arrangements are needed.

Dr. Cundiff uses practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness alongside narrative and motivational interviewing techniques. He encourages people to move at a pace that feels manageable while testing strategies that can reduce intense reactions and improve daily coping. Conversations are goal-focused and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

He notes that video, email, and chat have been used in his practice to connect with clients, and he responds to messages multiple times throughout the day. People are welcome to ask questions before starting a session and to raise adjustments as therapy progresses.

For someone trying to manage anger or reduce snapping at loved ones, he offers straightforward talk therapy aimed at understanding triggers, building alternative responses, and strengthening communication skills. He also addresses related concerns such as resentment, boundaries, and stress that feed into angry reactions.
