About LeToya

LeToya McClay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 17 years of experience. She focuses on shorter-term counseling, often working in 6 to 10 session blocks to help people make measurable progress. LeToya lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship and grief concerns among her core areas of work.

She uses an eclectic approach that draws from several methods to match what a person needs. That can mean looking at personal stories through narrative work, using cognitive-behavioral techniques to shift patterns, or focusing on attachment and emotions in relationships. She describes her role as helping clients reach goals and offering non-judgmental support.

In sessions she aims to be practical and goal-oriented. Short-term plans and clear next steps are common features. People who want focused, time-limited work or help tackling a specific problem often find this approach fits their schedule and priorities.

LeToya has worked with a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, impulsivity, multicultural issues, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. She also lists parenting, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and fertility-related concerns among areas she addresses.

Her approach includes Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions are provided in English and she practices from Mississippi. For international clients, she does not accept them at this time.

How her approaches translate to online work

LeToya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of her clinical mix. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related struggles. Attachment work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and intimacy, which often helps with relationship stress, grief, and self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and may adjust the plan as progress is made. That means sessions can focus on skills, emotional processing, or relationship patterns depending on what feels most useful.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or caregiving by removing commute time and letting people meet from their daily routine. Some formats can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better fits a person's schedule or bandwidth. Licensed professionals generally adapt exercises and worksheets for virtual sessions so therapeutic work stays practical and task-focused.
