About Javonne

She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, anger, grief, or major life changes.

Faith plays a role in her approach when clients want it included. Javonne draws on scripture and structured exercises like bible-based writing plans for those who find spiritual resources helpful. She developed a Christian mental wellness journal called Changing My Unhealthy Thoughts to guide people through replacing harmful thinking with prayerful, scripture-based responses.
Javonne also supports people coping with parenting stress, relationship strain, career questions, compassion fatigue, and concerns around intimacy or ADHD. She emphasizes small, achievable changes that add up over time. The work aims to reduce distress and free energy for what matters most to the individual.
Clients start by sharing their story and goals. Javonne listens first, then helps set clear steps and tools to practice between sessions. Her style stays grounded, encouraging, and focused on real-life results.

How Javonne Uses Motivational Interviewing and CBT Online
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on listening, asking open questions, and reflecting so motivation grows from the client’s values. This approach can help with shifts in behavior, such as increasing self-care, managing substance use, or committing to new routines.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often involves short exercises, thought records, and trying small behavioral experiments between sessions. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing thinking patterns tied to self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life to decide whether Motivational Interviewing, CBT, or a blend is best. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change.
