About Shanavia
Shanavia Echols meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with seven years of experience. Shanavia speaks plain language and aims to create a calm, respectful space for each person who reaches out.
She helps people work through family conflict and manage anger in ways that reduce stress and improve relationships. She also supports people struggling with low self-esteem, depression, and motivation.
How Shanavia works
Shanavia guides clients through major life changes and the uncertainty those events bring. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Shanavia talks things through with clients, sets realistic goals, and suggests small, practical steps to try between sessions.
She emphasizes compassion and sensitivity in every conversation. Shanavia also addresses body image concerns, communication problems, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Her work tends to focus on strategies people can use right away to feel steadier and more confident.
Taking the first step can feel big, and Shanavia aims to make that step clearer and less overwhelming. She supports people as they build skills, test changes, and track progress toward a life that feels more satisfying.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Shanavia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking to reduce low mood and self-criticism. This method is useful for depression, low self-esteem, and body image concerns.Another approach focuses on emotion and behavior regulation. It breaks down strong feelings like anger into smaller parts and teaches specific strategies to lower intensity and respond differently. This style is helpful for anger, family conflict, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shanavia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is or isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help therapy fit into work, family, and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
