LeShunn McLeod , LPC

LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama who has worked in the counseling field since 2016. As a state-licensed counselor, she is trained to provide professional mental health support and guidance, and she brings ten years of experience to individual, family, and group therapy across both in-office and online settings, including residential and outpatient programs.

She provides care for a range of concerns that can affect day-to-day well-being, including grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and substance abuse. Her work aims to address the practical impacts these challenges have on relationships, routines, and overall functioning.

In her clinical approach she often draws from reality therapy, a method that emphasizes taking responsibility for choices and developing concrete steps toward change rather than focusing solely on discussion of problems. This focus on actionable solutions supports clients who want clear, meaningful strategies to improve their lives.

McLeod acknowledges that reaching out for help can be difficult and approaches each therapeutic relationship with respect for that step. Additional information is available at www.btctherapy.org and on her social media channels.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

LeShunn McLeod integrates evidence-informed methods that emphasize values, present-moment action, and practical problem solving. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and teaches skills to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful action - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior, providing concrete tools for depression, anxiety, and coping with everyday challenges. Client-Centered Therapy centers the relationship, offering empathic listening and support to help clients explore their goals and build self-directed solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. McLeod collaborates with each person to determine which strategies best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with modalities such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and greater access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, continue work during transitions, and maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
