    About Schavonne

    Schavonne McCarter is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, anger, or life changes. She also supports people facing relationship strain, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, eating issues, and compassion fatigue.

    She focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where people can name what they are feeling. Sessions aim to identify small, practical steps that move a person toward clearer goals. Conversations are framed around what matters to the individual and what feels doable right now.

    Schavonne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. That approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and strengthen their commitment to those changes.

    Her work often addresses communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, and hospice or end-of-life concerns. She blends coaching-style guidance with therapy to focus on real-life changes. This practical focus aims to make progress feel tangible and manageable.

    People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation, clear goals, and an emphasis on small steps. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling follow the initial sign-up process on the site.

  2. How Motivational Interviewing and CBT work online

    Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to talk about change. It helps people weigh their reasons for change and build personal motivation before taking action. This approach can be useful for addiction, ambivalence about goals, and making lasting behavior changes.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related problems.

    Finding the right approach is something the therapist will do together with the client. She will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick methods that fit day-to-day life.

    The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or travel, and can reduce time spent commuting. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a brief update will help you stay on track, or more focused sessions when you need to work through a particular issue.
