About LeToya

LeToya McClay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 17 years of clinical experience. She emphasizes efficient, goal-focused work and often offers short-term counseling intended to help clients make meaningful progress in a limited number of sessions.

Background and approach

Her practice has included helping people manage anxiety, depression, attention and impulsivity concerns, oppositional behaviors, and complex trauma histories. She draws from an integrated set of approaches to match clients' needs, weaving together cognitive behavioral tools with attachment-informed perspectives and client-centered principles.

This flexible orientation allows her to adapt interventions to present concerns such as grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and blended family challenges, mood disorders, coping with life changes, and multicultural or identity-related stressors. LeToya aims to create an accepting, nonjudgmental space while collaborating with clients on clear, practical goals.

Her work balances structured skill-building with attention to each person's story and emotional experience.

Online Therapy Using Evidence-Informed Strategies

LeToya commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of relating and helps people build healthier patterns in relationships and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, assess what methods fit their needs, and adjust strategies over time so the plan remains aligned with changing priorities and progress.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats let clients fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work while managing caregiving or work demands, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
