Brandy Cunningham, LCSW

LCSW in Arkansas with 20 years' experience, Brandy Cunningham focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, relationships, trauma and mood disorders. She works mainly with adults and older adults who are coping with loss, depression, anxiety, and life changes. Brandy uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies.

Brandy frames therapy as a place to talk through feelings and everyday problems. She asks direct questions and listens for patterns in relationships and behavior. Sessions look at how past attachments shape current reactions and how small changes in thinking and choice can reduce distress.

She helps people manage grief from death, illness, or relationship loss and supports coping with mood swings, bipolar concerns, and long-term stress. Practical skills like thought-challenging, goal-setting, and communication practice are paired with exploration of early attachment experiences when helpful.

Her work also covers family-related struggles, parenting strain, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence or other trauma. Brandy pays attention to shame, guilt, and issues around control or dependence so clients can make clearer decisions about next steps.

Brandy encourages short-term solutions when someone needs immediate relief and longer work when deep change is needed. She asks people to name small, achievable goals and checks progress each session. To begin, she uses a straightforward matching and scheduling process through the practice portal.

Background and approach note: Brandy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Arkansas, and brings two decades of clinical experience to adult mental health and grief-related care.
