About Shunda

Dr. Shunda McCoy is a licensed clinical social worker in Tennessee who helps people facing relationship struggles, stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people coping with big life changes and difficult issues such as infidelity, finding life purpose, and building self-love.

Her style is calm and direct, aimed at helping people feel understood and find practical ways forward. She uses straightforward conversation to uncover patterns that keep people stuck.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small skills that make daily life easier. Dr. McCoy draws on therapies that teach new ways of thinking, improve communication, and set realistic steps toward change.

Her work is collaborative. She listens first, then helps people choose approaches that fit their goals and values. Many clients leave with clearer priorities, better coping tools, and a plan they can try between meetings.

With four years of clinical experience, Dr. McCoy blends evidence-based methods with a respectful, culturally aware stance. She frames progress in achievable steps rather than dramatic overnight shifts.

This helps people rebuild trust in themselves and in their relationships at a steady pace. Appointments are offered through online formats including video, phone, chat, and messaging. People who prefer regular check-ins or short, focused conversations can use the format that fits their schedule and needs.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes warm, nonjudgmental listening and supports people in making their own choices; it is useful for improving self-awareness and building self-love. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management. The Gottman Method brings attention to communication and relationship patterns, offering practical exercises to improve interactions and rebuild trust.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns and goals, then suggest methods that fit your needs. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for practicing communication skills. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, reflections between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options help people keep continuity with therapy while balancing everyday life.
