About LeShunn
LeShunn McLeod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and parenting challenges.

She emphasizes skills people can use between sessions, like managing intense emotions, changing unhelpful thinking, and strengthening communication.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. She addresses a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, ADHD, substance use, anger, and relationship and family stress.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and coping with major life changes because it focuses on action aligned with personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that can help with intense anger, relationship struggles, and self-directed behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily demands, then suggest methods likely to fit. Sessions can mix techniques and shift focus as progress is made so the plan stays relevant and useful.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and coaching. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions.
