About Lavon
Lavon Pinder is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 22 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and grief. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Short-term goals and steady progress are part of how she works.
Lavon supports people dealing with caregiver stress, commitment and communication issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also helps with postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, social anxiety, and workplace concerns.
How Lavon works
Self-esteem, self-love, forgiveness, and life purpose are regular topics in sessions. Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions center on the person’s priorities, not a fixed checklist.
She listens first, then offers strategies drawn from proven approaches like cognitive behavioral and mindfulness therapies. Therapy with Lavon mixes talk and action. Clients learn to notice unhelpful patterns and try small experiments to change them.
Mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps are used to reduce stress and build resilience. Lavon brings cultural awareness and respect for each person’s beliefs into her work. She aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can speak honestly and make steady changes at their own pace.
Her approach is focused on clear, manageable tools rather than jargon.

How therapeutic approaches translate online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and feelings. The therapist listens closely and mirrors what matters to the client so they feel understood and can decide the next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. It is practical and goal-oriented, often using short exercises between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lavon will discuss options and tailor methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. The process is collaborative - clients try methods, share what works, and adjust as needed. Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits a person’s life. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, a quick coping plan, or people who think better in writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and stay consistent with sessions.Start online instead of waiting
