About LeShunn
LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice.
Background and approach
She works with adults experiencing a broad range of challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, substance use concerns, grief, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, ADHD, and matters related to identity such as LGBT concerns.
Her work also addresses more specific struggles such as abandonment, attachment and family of origin issues, codependency, and caregiving stress. Her therapeutic stance emphasizes practical problem solving and collaborative goal setting.
LeShunn draws on cognitive behavioral strategies alongside acceptance and commitment and client-centered ideas to help clients understand patterns of thinking and behavior, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful changes. Dialectical behavior techniques and motivational interviewing also inform her approach when clients need emotion regulation skills or help resolving ambivalence about change.
She offers services both in-person and online and has experience with individual, family, and group therapy across residential and outpatient settings. LeShunn encourages those taking a first step to reach out and explore options for support, aiming to create real, sustainable improvements in daily life.
Approaches that guide online work and how they help
LeShunn commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and supports skills-building for day-to-day coping.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which encourages clients to clarify personal values and accept uncomfortable experiences while committing to meaningful action. ACT can be helpful for people facing life transitions, persistent worry, or difficulties with motivation. Client-centered principles inform her work as well, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client's perspective guides the pace and goals of therapy.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative; she works with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may combine elements from different orientations so the treatment plan feels personally relevant and workable.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for those balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from a licensed professional without relocating or rearranging a full day.
