LeShunn McLeod, LPC

LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and aging and geriatric issues. She draws on a range of approaches to help clients facing life transitions, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, attention differences like ADHD, and issues related to identity and attachment.

She has worked in counseling since 2016 and brings ten years of experience across outpatient and residential settings. That background includes individual, family, and group work, and both in-office and online practice have been part of her career. Her training and roles have exposed her to substance use concerns and grief work as well as caregiver stress and blended family dynamics.

In sessions she often emphasizes practical choices and steps people can take to change their situation. She uses methods that encourage clear goals, present-moment action, and problem solving alongside attention to emotions and values. The goal is to find concrete ways to reduce distress and improve daily life.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She aims to help people identify what matters to them and take steps aligned with those priorities. That might mean learning coping skills, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, or building better communication and boundaries.

Reaching out can feel hard, and she welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into someone’s life. Prospective clients can use the site’s Start Therapy button to begin the intake process and schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, caregiving stress, and coping with life changes by building willingness to act despite uncomfortable feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, mood instability, and substance use by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms and respond differently to stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean starting with one approach and adding techniques from others as needs become clearer.

Because session formats are not specified in this profile, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility needs, and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let someone choose not to be on camera when that helps them engage more comfortably. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches for remote work so therapy focuses on practical progress and goals.
