Carman is great at recognizing my strengths and helping me reach my goals. She has helped me work through trauma, depression, and anxiety, and has helped me remember the important things when I've been at a low point. My relationship with my family has also improved with her help. I'm happy to have worked through my PTSD with Carman, I'm very grateful!

Hi there! My name is Carman Cunningham and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LiSW-S) in the state of Ohio.
Finding the right therapist is not easy, but it is one of the most important choices you will make in your therapeutic journey. My clients often say they feel a sense of connection and trust when working with me. Through developing a trusting relationship and safe environment we will be able to genuinely explore the issues that are coming up for you. I will provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment for mindful exploration of your thoughts and feelings that may be influencing your response to events and others in your environment. Our sessions will include processing life events, exploring thought patterns, and learning tools to increase awareness of your own needs, and healthy ways to meet those needs.
I love working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I practice compassion, empathy and unconditional positive regard. I understand that mental illness does not take into account your age, finances, religious beliefs, socioeconomic status, race, culture, gender, etc. My goal is for you to feel safe, comfortable and understood throughout the therapeutic process.
My work is driven by the idea that individuals can lead a healthy productive, satisfying life. I am passionate about helping clients discover what it is you need in the present moment to move forward and bring peace and happiness into their lives. I enjoy working with adults, caregivers (including medical staff/first responders), and children. I provide services in the areas of; depression, anxiety, relationship issues, phase of life problems, family conflict, self-esteem, vocational stress, child/adult trauma, addiction, adjustment issues, anger issues, and parenting (including foster care/adoption and fertility issues). I work with individuals and couples (straight and LGBTQ). I incorporate different modality of therapy to help you achieve your goals and outcomes.
Please know you do not have to do this alone. Sometimes we all need a little assistance with navigating life's issues. I am here to help you find your journey to wellness and growth. Remember, every day is a good day to spend time caring for yourself. Being vulnerable is hard, but in the right setting, vulnerability is the catalyst for real and lasting change. If you have been struggling and realize what you've been doing is not working, please know I am here to support and empower change.
I look forward to walking side-by-side as you start on your journey of exploration and healing.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
