About LeShunn
LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, grief, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, parenting stress, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can try right away.
LeShunn brings ten years of counseling experience across outpatient and residential settings. She has led individual, family, and group sessions and has worked both in-office and online. Her background includes helping people with substance use, trauma and abuse, attachment and family-of-origin issues, and transitions such as divorce or adoption and foster care concerns.
Her style emphasizes real choices and usable tools. She often draws from reality-focused ideas to help people identify what matters, shift behaviors, and try different actions to change their lives. She also uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing depending on the person’s needs.
Sessions are collaborative and direct. LeShunn helps people set clear goals, test small changes, and build skills for handling anger, communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress. She aims for straightforward plans rather than long, abstract discussions.
Reaching out can be hard, and LeShunn welcomes that first step. She encourages people to consider what they want to be different and to try practical ways to get there together.
Approaches that guide online work and support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It often involves practical exercises and experiments between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can help with addictions and moving toward healthier choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as needed so it fits the person’s life and goals.
The biography notes prior experience with online and in-office work, but it does not list current session formats. Please confirm available session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can still use ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing techniques effectively over distance while helping clients build practical skills and try new behaviors between meetings.
