About Shunda
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with four years of experience, Dr. Shunda McCoy helps people managing relationship strain, stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also focuses on issues such as infidelity, life purpose, and cultivating self-love.
Dr. McCoy works in a collaborative style. She listens to what matters to each person and then uses practical techniques to change unhelpful habits and patterns. Sessions involve talking through relationship patterns, identifying thoughts that fuel strong emotions, and setting small goals to try between meetings.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's perspective central. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift thought-action loops. For couples-related concerns she references the Gottman Method to look at interaction patterns and communication moves.
Dr. McCoy also uses solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing when people need short-term direction or help finding motivation to change. These approaches aim to build clear next steps rather than only discussing problems.
She practices in Tennessee and provides services in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's experience so they can clarify values and goals. Online sessions using this approach typically mean the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches people to spot thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood and to try different behaviors. In remote sessions CBT involves tracking thoughts and practicing new behaviors between appointments. The Gottman Method looks at interaction patterns and communication skills; online work can use the same behavioral experiments and skills practice to address relationship problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust the plan based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize during early sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice communication exercises in real time and use written homework between meetings to reinforce new habits.
