About LeShunn

LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with a decade of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She works with adults facing a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family challenges, parenting difficulties, ADHD, and issues related to self-esteem.

Her background also encompasses work with abandonment, attachment and family of origin difficulties, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, substance use concerns, and adjustment after separation or loss. Her approach blends practical, solution-focused work with depth-oriented methods.

LeShunn often draws on client-centered principles to create a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere while integrating Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to address thoughts, emotions, and patterns that keep people stuck.

She aims to help clients identify actionable steps and build coping skills while also exploring underlying dynamics that influence behavior. LeShunn has provided individual, family, and group therapy across outpatient and residential settings and offers both in-office and online services.

She invites those ready to take a step toward change to begin the process of matching and scheduling according to availability.

Integrating therapeutic approaches in online care

LeShunn commonly uses Internal Family Systems to help clients understand and dialogue with different inner parts, which can be useful for working through trauma, self-criticism, and conflicting impulses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build willingness to experience difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy provides a foundation of empathy and collaboration, giving people space to explore their concerns at their own pace while the therapist offers nonjudgmental support.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. LeShunn partners with each client to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve. That collaborative stance helps ensure therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options allow clients to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for discussing sensitive material.
