About Schavonne
Schavonne McCarter is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of professional experience. She helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, and depression. Her approach is straightforward and practical. She focuses on what people are trying to change and how to get there.
Schavonne works with clients to create a space where thoughts and feelings can be said aloud without judgment. Sessions tend to be direct and goal-oriented. She uses conversational techniques so someone can talk through what triggers their anger or what keeps anxiety active.
She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Motivational Interviewing tools. That means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building small, achievable steps toward change. Clients often leave sessions with concrete strategies to try between meetings.
Schavonne also addresses related areas like communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and self-love. She supports people managing grief, life changes, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and compassion fatigue. Work on these topics is practical and focused on daily life adjustments.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted from her Florida practice. She encourages realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes. To begin, she asks people to think about one or two changes they want to make and brings that into the first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Schavonne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. That can help with anger by identifying triggers, testing beliefs, and building better responses. Motivational Interviewing focuses on the client’s own reasons for change and uses questions and reflection to strengthen commitment and small steps toward new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Schavonne collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the focus based on what is working or needs more attention.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy life and making it easier to attend regular meetings. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it simpler to practice techniques between sessions and to bring real-time situations into conversation without rearranging a day around travel.
