About Shunda
Dr. Shunda McCoy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with four years of practice. She focuses on relationship strains, stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem issues, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses infidelity, life purpose, and building self-love.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She listens to what clients are struggling with and helps them name patterns that cause pain. Sessions include talking through what is happening now and trying small changes that can reduce stress and improve relationships.
Dr. McCoy draws from Client-Centered methods to follow the client’s lead. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. The Gottman Method informs her work on relationship communication and conflict habits.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change when they feel stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy appears when clients prefer concrete steps and short-term goals. These approaches are blended to match each person’s situation.
In sessions she prioritizes clarity and practical next steps. People can expect focused conversation, goal setting, and techniques to try between meetings. Her background in social work shapes attention to everyday pressures such as family demands, work stress, money, and health concerns.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. It helps people clarify what matters most and decide which changes to try first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. The Gottman Method targets relationship communication and conflict habits, offering straightforward skills for repairing interactions and reducing destructive cycles.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match goals and preferences. That choice will be revisited and adjusted as work progresses so it fits the person’s needs.
Session logistics should fit everyday life. When formats are unspecified in the biography, confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online appointments can help people fit therapy around work, family, and health demands by reducing travel time and allowing meetings from more convenient locations. They can also make shorter check-ins or split sessions easier to schedule when time is tight.
