About LeShunn
LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, and life transitions. LeShunn also lists work with relationship stress, parenting strain, ADHD, and issues tied to trauma and family of origin.
She uses practical, solution-focused conversations rather than long theory lectures. Her practice often emphasizes helping people make clearer choices and change daily habits that keep them stuck. Sessions include direct talk about current problems and steps clients can try between meetings.
LeShunn draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy. She describes a leaning toward reality therapy ideas that focus on choice and action. That means she helps people notice what matters to them and try different behaviors to reflect those values.
Her background includes work in residential and outpatient settings, and experience with individual, group, and family therapy. This range informs how she structures sessions and offers practical skills for coping, emotion regulation, and decision-making.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She asks about what is happening now, what matters most to the person, and what small changes they are willing to try. The aim is to find concrete, real-world steps that fit daily life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed actions that match them. It helps when guilt or shame makes it hard to move forward by shifting attention toward what matters and small steps consistent with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. That can reduce rumination and lessen the grip of shame-related thoughts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and current life demands. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together based on what feels useful.
The biography notes she has provided online and in-office services in past roles, but current session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions match your day-to-day life and your goals.
