How Shavonna works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and move through strong feelings around relationships. Mindfulness practices are introduced to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Jungian ideas may be woven in to explore personal meaning and patterns that repeat over time. The overall aim is to build clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and stronger self-compassion. Shavonna adopts a calm, respectful style.
She treats people as the experts on their own lives and works collaboratively on workable goals. Sessions emphasize small, doable steps and skill practice between meetings. With 12 years of experience, she blends practical techniques with deeper emotional work.
People who want straightforward guidance and a steady presence may find this approach helpful. The work is paced to each person’s needs and life demands.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and problem-solving in daily life.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping sessions collaborative and grounded in real-life needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read tone and facial cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a work break or a walk. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives while still using CBT, Client-Centered, and Emotionally-Focused tools in the work.
