About LeShunn

LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and issues related to adoption and foster care. She also supports those facing grief, anger, ADHD, and mood concerns such as bipolar symptoms.

She has worked in counseling since 2016 and brings ten years of experience across outpatient and residential settings. That background includes individual, group, and family work delivered both in-office and online. The LPC credential indicates her role as a licensed professional counselor in Alabama.

Her style is practical and focused on choices people can make now. She often draws on reality-oriented methods to move past talking and toward action. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, decide on steps they can try, and measure small changes over time.

LeShunn also uses a mix of evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy. These approaches are used to match a person's goals, whether that means managing emotions, changing unhelpful thinking, or building motivation.

She encourages a collaborative process where clients set goals and track progress. Reaching out can feel hard, and she aims to make the first steps straightforward and respectful.

How online approaches and practical methods are used

LeShunn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT often focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that fit a person’s goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors; CBT helps with mood, anxiety, and day-to-day coping by breaking problems into manageable parts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed script.

If you are interested in online work, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist has experience delivering care online in addition to in-office work, and online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Online meetings can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins on a break, or make consistent attendance simpler when schedules change. Discussing practical details during the matching process will help shape a plan that fits routines and goals.
