LeShunn McLeod, LPC - Therapist in Alabama

About LeShunn

LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama. She uses straightforward, practical work in sessions to address stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach aims to help people make clearer choices and take small steps they can use day to day.

She draws on methods that focus on the present moment and on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Background and approach

LeShunn blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques to match each person’s needs. Sessions move from understanding what matters to trying small changes and tracking what helps. With ten years of experience, LeShunn has worked across outpatient and residential settings and has led individual, family, and group therapy.

She provides care both in person and online, and brings practical tools for coping with life transitions, addiction, and grief. LeShunn emphasizes active participation. She helps people set clear, manageable goals and tests what works in daily life.

The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s readiness. Reaching out can feel hard, and LeShunn invites a gentle first step. She guides the process of identifying priorities and building routines that support better days.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

LeShunn commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most to them and taking values-driven action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation and meaning matter.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT is practical for symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and many stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to each person’s goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match technique to need rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep continuity during life changes. Clients can practice skills between sessions and check in using the format that feels most useful.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
