About Dr. Norja Cunningham
Her style can shift between therapist, coach, and teacher, with clear boundaries that help keep sessions focused and effective. Dr. Cunningham draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and faith-based therapy, selecting tools that fit the client’s needs and the pace of change they are ready for.
She offers culturally aware care grounded in an understanding that people’s lived experiences shape how they cope, connect, and heal. A central part of her work is helping clients move from insight into action, so they not only recognize patterns but also learn how to interrupt them in daily life. Outside of sessions, she enjoys singing, creative writing, playing sports, lifting weights, and traveling.

Practical approaches, flexible online support
Dr. Norja Cunningham integrates evidence-based methods to help clients build skills they can use in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing more effective responses, which can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, low mood, or self-esteem concerns start to take over. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes coping tools like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting clients who want steadier emotions and healthier relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, which can be helpful during life transitions, grief, or moments of feeling stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Cunningham works collaboratively, adjusting the focus and tools based on each client’s goals, preferences, and what is working in real time, while keeping the work structured and purposeful.
Online therapy makes it easier to stay consistent with support. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging for added flexibility. These options can make therapy more accessible for busy schedules, changing routines, or times when extra support between sessions is helpful.
