Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
Approaches that translate well to online care
LeShunn uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories that guide their choices. This approach looks at how past events and beliefs shape present behavior and helps people tell a different story about themselves when that is helpful.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to teach people how to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to choose actions that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors that change mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily life, and what feels useful, then try methods that match those needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions can be held as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skill demonstration. Phone calls can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to keep progress moving between scheduled sessions.
