About LeToya
LeToya McClay is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of experience in Mississippi. She focuses on short-term counseling and aims to help people reach clear goals in a limited number of sessions. Her work emphasizes practical steps that fit busy lives.
She has supported people facing anxiety, stress, depression, attention and impulsivity concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood disorders. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, and self-esteem challenges.
Background and approach
LeToya includes attention to multicultural concerns and LGBT matters when relevant to a person’s experience. Her approach blends several therapy styles to match each person's needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to understand patterns in relationships and uses client-centered listening to shape sessions around what matters most to the individual.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. LeToya often works short term, aiming for focused progress over 6 to 10 sessions when that fits the client's goals. She likes to use straightforward language and practical exercises people can apply between sessions.
Her style is direct but warm, with an emphasis on setting realistic steps forward. Sessions may include talks about family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and coping with life changes such as divorce or fertility struggles. She also addresses trauma recovery, impulse control concerns, seasonal mood shifts, and social anxiety using a mix of therapeutic tools.
Approaches that fit online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now. It helps people notice how they relate to others and try new ways of connecting when old patterns cause stress or conflict. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at the client's pace. The therapist follows what matters most to the person and helps them clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple experiments and exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to try first. That choice can change as goals evolve, and sessions are adjusted to match what the person finds most helpful.
Online sessions can be done by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face to face when that helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break during a busy day. Live chat and text work well for shorter check-ins, ongoing support, or if someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while accommodating work, family, and travel schedules.
