    About Shavonna

    Shavonna Peterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She also focuses on body image, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and building self-love. She writes plainly and listens first so people feel understood and able to talk about hard things.

    She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the room. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small, practical steps that can feel doable. Shavonna uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their reasons to change and to build momentum toward goals.

    Her work draws from client-centered therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the center, and from cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings. She also incorporates elements of emotionally-focused and Jungian approaches when they fit the client’s needs and goals.

    With 12 years of professional experience, Shavonna aims for clear, respectful conversations that break problems into manageable parts. She emphasizes collaboration and tailors each plan to the client’s pace and priorities. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support while people find what helps them move forward.

  2. Approaches that guide online sessions

    Shavonna uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum toward goals. This approach focuses on listening, drawing out personal motivation, and planning small next steps that feel manageable.

    She also uses client-centered therapy, which puts the person’s experience first and uses empathic listening to clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, another key approach she draws on, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and helps people try practical experiments to shift how they feel.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process can change over time as priorities shift.

    Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online sessions can make it simpler to join from a quieter place, reduce travel time, or fit a check-in during a lunch break. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to learn how sessions are delivered.
