Carman Cunningham

Carman Cunningham is a licensed clinical social worker in Ohio with supervisory credentials and 11 years of clinical experience. She creates a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can mindfully explore the thoughts and feelings that influence how they respond to events and to others.

Clients often report feeling a sense of connection and trust when working with her. Through a collaborative, safe therapeutic relationship she helps people process life events, examine thought patterns, and learn practical tools to increase self-awareness and meet their needs in healthier ways.

She welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds and practices with compassion, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. Carman recognizes that mental health concerns affect people regardless of age, finances, religion, socioeconomic status, race, culture, or gender, and she aims to help each person feel safe, comfortable, and understood during the therapeutic process.

Her work is grounded in the belief that individuals can build a healthy, productive, and satisfying life. She is passionate about helping clients identify what is needed in the present moment to move forward and cultivate greater peace and happiness.

Carman works with adults, caregivers (including medical staff and first responders), and children. She provides services for depression, anxiety, relationship issues, phase-of-life challenges, family conflict, self-esteem concerns, vocational stress, child and adult trauma, addiction, adjustment difficulties, anger management, parenting matters (including foster care, adoption, and fertility concerns), intimacy-related issues, grief, sleeping disorders, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She works with individuals and couples, including straight and LGBTQ clients, and incorporates different therapeutic modalities to support clients in reaching their goals.

She encourages vulnerability as a catalyst for meaningful, lasting change and offers guidance to those who feel their current approaches are not working. Carman is available to support and empower clients as they begin their journey of exploration and healing, walking alongside them through the process of growth and recovery.
