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

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Good
I've been very happy with my interactions with this mental health professional. I would recommend him for anyone.
Makes good recommendations. Always seems to have some input, and communicates very well.
I’ve only had him for a short time, but he seems to really know his stuff, and is a great listener.
Dr. Cundiff is an excellent therapist. First and foremost he listens carefully and generally reflects back his understanding of what I've reported to him so we're both on the same sheet of music so to speak. He absorbs what I've reported before providing recommendations.
I'm very thankful for Dr Cundiff's approach to guiding me through my situation.
Very helpful

Dr. Cy diff is an incredible listener with great expertise and compassion. He was able to give practical steps for me to follow and feedback for where I’m at emotionally in life. I appreciate it my time with him. He was also very very accommodating regarding times to meet virtually.
