About Fulivia

Dr. Fulivia Cannady brings a client-centered, strength-based approach shaped by 15 years in mental health and social services.

Background and approach

She earned a Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Mental/Behavioral Health, and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) as well as a Qualified Board Supervisor in Mississippi. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify practical steps toward change while building insight and resilience.

Dr. Cannady works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, eating and sleeping issues, ADHD, and LGBT-related matters.

She also addresses challenges such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, midlife transitions, and other life disruptions. Her toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, which she tailors to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Known for an encouraging and empathetic style, Dr. Cannady supports clients in increasing awareness, processing difficult emotions, and developing practical strategies for everyday life.

She invites those ready to make changes to engage in a collaborative process focused on growth, empowerment, and clearer direction.

Combining proven approaches with flexible online care



Dr. Cannady commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility to live a meaningful life despite difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy is another thread in her work, exploring how early and present relationships shape patterns and improving connection and trust where needed.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work. She partners with clients to decide whether CBT, ACT, attachment-focused work, or a blend of methods best fits their goals, preferences, and personal history, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and convenience. These options allow clients to fit therapy into busy schedules, attend from different locations including international settings, and continue steady progress even when life is unpredictable.
