She works with adults dealing with grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and big life changes. Her tone is direct and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps forward.

Background and approach
Her background means she understands how mood disorders, trauma, and substance use can affect everyday life. In sessions she emphasizes practical choices and real change. She often uses therapy methods that encourage people to notice patterns, set small goals, and try new behaviors between meetings.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is working and what needs to shift. Her approach values collaboration. She listens, then helps people build step-by-step plans for coping, communication, or relapse prevention.
Techniques come from several well-known therapeutic models and are tailored to the person sitting across from her. LeShunn also supports people dealing with complex background issues like attachment problems, adoption and foster care concerns, and family of origin struggles. She frames progress as steady, practical work and focuses on skills people can use right away.
Reaching out is often hard, and she acknowledges that. LeShunn aims to make the first steps clear so people can move toward better daily functioning and improved relationships.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching concrete skills like breaking tasks into steps and testing worried predictions. This approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management.Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person's goals and daily life. Sessions can blend elements from several models so the plan matches what the person needs and prefers.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or being on camera isn't desirable. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, and ongoing accountability between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent, practice new skills in real time, and fit sessions into work and caregiving schedules.
