About LeShunn

LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, parenting strains, trauma, grief, ADHD, and many women's issues. She works with individuals on self-esteem, relationship concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and coping with life changes. LeShunn uses a straightforward, practical style that focuses on real steps clients can take.

She draws from approaches that encourage people to make better choices for their lives. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect help identifying what matters to them and small, doable changes to try between meetings.

LeShunn has about 10 years of experience in counseling settings. Her background includes individual and group work, plus time in residential and outpatient programs. She brings that variety into sessions by offering both short-term problem solving and longer work on patterns.

Her work often involves helping people with addiction and substance use concerns, family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment struggles, and blended family or caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with grief, divorce and separation, dissociation, and disruptive mood challenges.

LeShunn blends client-centered listening with practical methods such as cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance strategies, dialectical skills, and motivational interviewing. She aims to help each person find realistic solutions and live more in line with their values.

Reaching out for help can feel hard. LeShunn tries to make the first steps easier by explaining options and working at a pace the client chooses.

Approaches for online change and coping

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult emotions). Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression). Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships in stressful times).

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to find what fits. This collaborative process means clients and the therapist adjust strategies based on progress and preferences.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and people who prefer written communication. These formats offer flexibility to match communication style, schedule, and daily demands.
