About LeShunn
LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama with ten years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship or family concerns, parenting strain, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, trauma, and other life changes.
She uses straightforward, practical conversation. Sessions focus on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and habits and practicing different responses. LeShunn emphasizes making concrete choices and small behavior changes people can try between meetings.
Her background includes work in residential and outpatient settings and experience with individual, family, and group formats. That range informs how she structures sessions and checks progress. She combines hands-on problem solving with techniques drawn from several approaches to keep the work focused and measurable.
CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - is part of her toolkit alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered work. She aims to pair those tools with clients' goals so each session has a clear next step.
People who contact her typically start by describing a current difficulty and a practical goal. The first sessions are used to identify patterns, try a simple strategy, and set a short plan for change. Follow-up visits review what worked and adjust the plan as needed.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
LeShunn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that break problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. CBT helps people notice a pattern, try a different response, and measure if that change made things better. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing painful thoughts while choosing actions that align with personal values and can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. Early sessions review goals, test one or two tools, and then pick what seems most helpful. The therapist and client set practical tasks and adjust them based on what works in real life.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit short check-ins or skill practice into a busy week, avoid travel time, and try techniques in everyday settings. Licensed professionals can use different formats to match a client's schedule, bandwidth, and need for shorter or longer meetings.
