About LeShunn
LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. She supports those coping with grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and the fallout from trauma or abuse.
LeShunn works with individuals facing life changes and anger, and she also addresses issues tied to family of origin, adoption and foster care, and caregiver stress. She draws from straightforward, practical methods in sessions.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on real choices and steps people can try between meetings. Sessions are paced to fit what each person needs and to build clear coping skills over time. LeShunn has worked in counseling since 2016.
That includes individual, group, residential, and outpatient settings, both in office and online. Her decade of experience guides how she tailors support to everyday problems and bigger life transitions. Her approach often centers on helping people notice what matters to them and take small, doable actions toward those values.
She also uses tools from cognitive-behavioral and dialectical approaches to address thought patterns, emotional regulation, and motivation. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when substance use or readiness for change is central. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits both the client and the therapist.
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes when someone wants practical, value-focused direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches tools to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be helpful for strong emotions and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods collaboratively, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools and exercises to use and how to apply them between sessions.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let you meet face to face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions or shorter live chat exchanges can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Text-based messaging supports ongoing check-ins and brief coaching between scheduled appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel.
