About LeToya
LeToya McClay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on brief counseling and practical steps that fit into a busy life. Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and trauma-related issues.
She favors short-term work when appropriate, often aiming for a six to ten session plan. That approach helps people make changes without a long-term commitment. She blends methods to match what a person needs rather than using a single fixed model.
Background and approach
Her daily practice includes play-based work during the school year, but she also sees adults for talk-based therapy. Areas she commonly addresses include ADHD and impulsivity, relationship strain, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports those dealing with mood disorders and seasonal affective disorder.
LeToya uses a mix of approaches to help people understand patterns and try new behaviors. She draws on attachment ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness practices. These tools are adapted to each person's goals.
People can expect clear goals, practical homework when helpful, and a nonjudgmental space to talk through challenges. Sessions can focus on parenting-related stress, family dynamics as they affect an individual, trauma recovery, or coping with life changes. The aim is steady progress toward what matters to the client.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people notice interaction habits and try different ways of relating, which can ease relationship stress and parenting challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and impulsivity.Choosing an approach is a team effort. LeToya will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client's needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether attachment work, CBT, mindfulness, or a blend will be most useful for the situation.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through multiple formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are lower bandwidth and work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, journaling between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit sessions into work, childcare, or other busy schedules while working toward clear goals.
