Hello. My name is Barb. I moved to southern California to be near my son, after living in St. Louis Missouri all of my life. I have always enjoyed my work with people and strongly believe we move forward when ready. My approach is mostly cognitive, psycho-educational, and supportive. I am rather casual & like to use humor when appropriate, as a tool, to help make the sessions comfortable. I believe no "one size fits all" in the therapeutic relationship; if something isn't working, we can back it up and try something different. I try to pay attention to a client's energy and offer techniques best suited; for example, some clients want more guidance, others more autonomy. My job is to "listen" and identify helpful movement toward understanding, growth, and healing. I check my emails 2x a day and will respond w/in 24 hours.

Hello, my name is Michael Cundiff. I am a therapist with BetterHelp, and look forward to getting to know you. You have taken a bold first step by contacting BetterHelp, reflecting a strength and a good beginning. I enjoy working with people and look forward to speaking with you. My background information is available on my profile along with hours and availability. Forty-five minute sessions seem to work best for most clients, but we can be flexible if you have different expectations. Video, email and chat are the virtual formats, and clients are encouraged to go at their own rate. If you have questions, please ask, but feel free to do so should any come to mind later. I check for messages several times daily and try to respond as quickly as possible. My counseling approach is essentially client-centered, which is to say relationship based, and it is my belief that client and counselor should work together in establishing goals and strategies for solutions. You may have some thoughts on this as well which we can process. Looking forward to speaking with you. Michael Cundiff

My name is Julie and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for Missouri and I’d love to partner with you to feel well and be well! Let's nourish your soul and find healing with the practices I’ve implemented from the wealth of wisdom I’ve gleaned from decades of challenges related to health, relationships, and loss. From the unexpected loss of numerous loved ones, the end of intimate relationships, unmet expectations and chronic illness we can go from misery to mastery, bitter to better, and find some nuggets of joy in the journey. It's not easy but YOU are worth investing in! It takes time but let’s find peace, balance and contentment *in the midst of* crazy times. Life can really be tough and there's not a lot of easy answers to many challenges. While I find DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy), mindfulness and faith in general to be very useful for many people I'm honored to help find the best approach for YOU in coping with life's curveballs, managing long seasons of hardship, and finding hope in the most difficult issues we may face. Particular interests of mine include travel, nutrition, movement, parenting struggling children, caregiving, social and environmental justice, race relations and finding the aspects of faith that are helpful while discerning what doesn't serve you well.

I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. With over 8 years of experience in mental health and two decades working with young people, I know that life can be messy and complicated. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate tough times, helping you build self-compassion, understand yourself better, and make meaningful changes. I believe healing happens through connection, and I’m here to offer a judgment-free zone where you can explore your story and find your inner strength. I work with people facing depression, anxiety, and feelings of shame or self-hatred. These emotions can be heavy, but they don’t define who you are. Together, we’ll unpack what’s behind those feelings and find practical ways to make life feel a little easier. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative—I’m here to listen without judgment and help you rewrite the unkind stories you might be telling yourself.

When it’s helpful, I involve partners or family members to build understanding and create a stronger support system. I also use practical, evidence-based tools to help you feel more in control and balanced in your daily life. Reaching out for help takes courage, and you don’t have to do this alone.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, or stress take over. I work with adults who want a supportive space to process challenges, gain clarity, and find practical ways to feel more grounded. My goal is to help you reduce the weight of day-to-day struggles so you can focus on what matters most. While many of my clients have experienced difficult or painful life events, I don't view you only through the lens of trauma--I see the whole person. Together, we'll explore both what's been holding you back and what can help you move forward with greater confidence and calm. My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I draw on several approaches, including CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to give you tools for coping in the present (whether that is handling intensely strong emotions or navigating stressful situations in relationships), while also creating space for deeper reflection and self-understanding. I offer flexible scheduling and online video sessions so therapy can fit into your life. Clients can book directly into my calendar. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist. I believe in treating everyone with respect, kindness, sensitivity, and compassion, and I will tailor our dialogue and treatment to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to step toward living a more authentic and fulfilling life, whatever that may be. I hope to support & empower you in that journey. I received my Master’s in Psychology from the University of Central Missouri, which included an internship at Two Rivers Psychiatric Hospital in Kansas City working with sexual trauma survivors. I coordinated support and services for individuals with developmental disabilities through the Missouri Department of Mental Health for 11 years. Many of my clients also struggled with mental health and substance use issues. I transferred to the Department of Education (Rehabilitation and Learning Services/ Vocational Rehabilitation), where I provided vocational counseling for 16 years. In this setting, I assisted youth and adults with a variety of mental health, learning, and physical challenges to achieve their career aspirations by providing counseling and other supports to help them overcome barriers. More recently, I have provided intensive outpatient group and individual therapy in a hospital setting to older adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and suicidal thoughts. I have been providing adults with individual virtual mental health therapy on this platform for a year. I have truly valued the opportunity to help every person throughout the years. On a more personal note, I’m on a continual journey of self-discovery and learning every day to promote my wellness, fulfillment, and personal happiness. I approach life with a growth mindset and the understanding that we can learn, pivot, and make adjustments to improve our lives. Learning never stops. If you're ready to take the first step, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward balance and well-being.
