About LeShunn
LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, parenting strain, relationship concerns, and family of origin issues. She also supports people coping with life changes, anger, low self-esteem, and attention difficulties.
She has provided individual, group, and family work in residential and outpatient settings. That background means she is used to practical problem solving in different kinds of clinical spaces. Sessions aim to identify concrete choices and steps people can take to change how they feel and function.
LeShunn often draws on reality therapy ideas to help people focus on present choices and actions. She also uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered work. Those methods are used to address mood concerns, addictive behavior, coping skills, and communication problems.
Her approach is straightforward. Conversations cover what is happening now, what patterns from the past may still influence current life, and what specific changes are possible. She works with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family stress, and caregiver strain when they affect an individual's functioning.
LeShunn practices in Alabama and carries the LPC credential. She offers services in English. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session using the subscription model described on the platform.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or avoidance get in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and some problems with attention or mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness and can be useful for anger, mood instability, and emotion-driven behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and daily life. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for different session rhythms such as shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the available session options when you schedule so you can choose what suits your schedule and needs.
