LeShunn brings ten years of counseling experience from work in outpatient and residential settings. She has led individual, group, and family sessions both in person and online.
Background and approach
She uses practical talk and action to help people make changes that matter to their daily lives. Her approach leans on Acceptance and Commitment ideas and client-centered listening. She also draws from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior tools when they fit the situation.
Motivational interviewing appears when people are weighing change and need a clearer path forward. In sessions she focuses on clear problems and workable steps. That may mean practicing new ways to handle stress, building coping skills for anxiety, or shaping routines that support mood stability.
She prioritizes helping people notice what matters to them and then choose actions that match those values. LeShunn holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Alabama. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability. The goal in early sessions is to set clear goals and find the best path forward together.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
LeShunn often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small steps toward a life that feels meaningful. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that match what matters most.She also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches practical skills to reduce worry, change unhelpful thought patterns, and build routines that support mood stability.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and therapist work together to find what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation time. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates, quick coping prompts, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between meetings.
