About LeToya
LeToya McClay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on brief, goal-focused work and often aims for short-term counseling of six to ten sessions when that fits a client's goals. LeToya lists a wide range of concerns she helps people with, including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, grief, and anger.
Her day work from August through late May commonly involves registered play therapy, though her practice also includes adult-focused counseling. LeToya describes an eclectic approach that draws on multiple theories rather than a single method. She uses techniques from narrative therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral approaches, solution-focused work, and play-informed methods when appropriate.
Sessions are oriented around clear goals and practical steps. She emphasizes working efficiently to make progress in a limited number of sessions when that approach suits the client. That can mean structured skill-building, short-term problem-solving, or pacing interventions for deeper material over time.
LeToya pays attention to attachment and emotion in relationships, and she includes mindfulness and client-centered ideas in her work. People who want direct conversations about behaviors, thoughts, and patterns may find this style practical and straightforward.
Her practice reflects experience with mood disorders, trauma, multicultural concerns, and a variety of life changes. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
LeToya combines client-centered ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered work means conversations focus on the client's concerns and pace, while CBT offers concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking and responding, useful for anger, anxiety, and mood issues.She also integrates attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns affect current relationships and emotional reactions. That approach helps when anger ties to trust, closeness, or repeated relationship cycles. Together these methods address current problems and the relational patterns that maintain them. Finding the right mix is collaborative. During early conversations she will work with clients to identify goals, try a few techniques, and adjust based on what helps. The plan evolves from the client's needs, preferences, and progress rather than a fixed recipe.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, schedule shorter check-ins, or use video and audio exercises that support CBT and attachment-focused conversations. Ask about session length and the way sessions are delivered when you complete the matching questionnaire.
