LeShunn McLeod, LPC

LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and midlife changes. She commonly supports people with relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, ADHD, and trauma. She also works with issues like self-esteem, bipolar mood patterns, and parenting challenges.

She has practiced since 2016 and brings ten years of counseling experience to her work. Sessions have been offered in both residential and outpatient settings, and her background includes individual, family, and group therapy in office and online environments. Her experience spans substance use, bereavement, life transitions, and crisis recovery.

Her approach is practical and solution-focused. She often draws from a reality therapy perspective that encourages people to make better choices and take control of their lives. That means conversations turn toward specific steps and real changes rather than staying stuck on problems.

She also uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing when those tools fit a person's needs. The work is collaborative - she helps people identify goals and then tests what helps in day-to-day life.

Reaching out can feel hard, and she aims to make the first steps straightforward. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

LeShunn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit practical concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to ease symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative - clients help shape which tools are used and how progress is measured.

The therapist's biography notes prior online and in-office work, but current session formats are not specified here. Before booking, confirm which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, keep check-ins shorter when needed, or avoid travel time. It also lets people use approaches like ACT and CBT in regular life settings, so skills can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together.
