About LeShunn
LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with ten years of experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and identity issues related to LGBT experience.
McLeod uses straightforward conversations and practical steps in session. She often draws on reality therapy ideas that focus on choices and actions people can take now. That approach is about noticing what you can control and trying different behaviors to change how life feels.
She also integrates methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, and motivational interviewing. Those tools can help with shifting unhelpful thoughts, managing strong feelings, and building steady coping habits. Sessions include talking through problems and practicing specific skills between meetings.
Her background includes work in residential and outpatient settings, and experience with individual, family, and group therapy. That variety has exposed her to many life situations and practical strategies that people use to steady emotions and reduce conflict.
LeShunn invites people who are ready to try new steps for handling anger, resentment, frustration, or recurring outbursts. Her focus is on helping people find real, meaningful solutions they can use in everyday life.
To begin, she asks people to pick a first meeting and complete a short matching questionnaire to get started.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help when anger or avoidance is keeping someone from the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for addressing anger triggers, anxiety, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills in distress tolerance and emotion regulation, which can reduce reactive responses and improve pacing during strong emotions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape the plan and what skills to practice between sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available online session options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit counseling into a busy day, avoid travel time, do shorter check-ins when needed, or use alternatives to video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work across different session setups, while keeping the focus on practical steps to manage anger and build steadier responses.
