About Shunda
Dr. Shunda McCoy is a Tennessee-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with four years of experience. She works with people dealing with relationship strain, stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also focuses on issues such as infidelity, life purpose, and building self-love.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She listens for patterns in how people react to stressful moments. Then she helps them try small changes that can alter those patterns over time. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented rather than lecture style.
Dr. McCoy uses a set of established approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps examine the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the clients perspective central while setting goals that matter to them. The Gottman Method is used for work around relationship interactions and communication.
She often combines short-term problem solving with longer discussions about personal values and purpose. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone is unsure about change. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to map small, practical steps toward clearer goals.
People who come to her for anger-related concerns often learn ways to notice early signs of frustration. They practice responses that reduce snapping or built-up resentment. The approach emphasizes skill practice between sessions so new habits can take hold.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and reflecting the clients perspective. Online sessions using this approach keep the focus on the clients goals and what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then targets small changes. In an online session CBT often uses worksheets, behavior plans, and short experiments to try between meetings. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication patterns and practical skills for managing conflict and closeness in relationships.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adapting tools over time if something is not helping or if life circumstances change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Many people find that being able to schedule sessions around work or family responsibilities makes consistent progress more realistic.
