About LeShunn
LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and codependency. She also supports those working through grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and identity concerns related to LGBT issues. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel doable for someone who may be worried or unsure.
LeShunn has practiced counseling since 2016 and brings ten years of experience across outpatient and residential settings. She has led individual, group, and family work and has provided in-office and online services. Her background includes treating mood differences such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation, as well as attention and trauma-related concerns.
Her approach emphasizes practical choices and personal responsibility. She often draws from reality therapy ideas to help people recognize options and make different decisions that fit their goals. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps rather than long lists of abstract goals.
LeShunn also uses a mix of evidence-informed methods when helpful, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She adapts these to each person's situation so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Reaching out can feel hard, and she aims to make the process straightforward. Prospective clients are invited to take a first step and explore if her style fits their needs.
How therapy approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters most to them, using actions that line up with their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaches concrete techniques to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness for people who feel overwhelmed by strong feelings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Details about session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It also lets people try approaches such as ACT or CBT in the context of their day-to-day routines, so skills can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together.
