About Schavonne
Schavonne McCarter is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 15 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, grief, and the strain that comes with major life changes. She also works with clients concerned about relationship and family issues, LGBT matters, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on creating an open space where thoughts and feelings can be named without fear of judgment. She aims to support and empower clients who want a more fulfilling life and who are ready to take steps toward change.
Schavonne uses practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people identify unhelpful patterns and build workable alternatives. She helps clients set clear, achievable goals and uses guided conversation to increase motivation for change.
She also addresses communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, and hospice or end-of-life concerns when these topics are relevant. Conversations are tailored to the person in front of her, with an emphasis on what will move them forward most effectively.
Schavonne practices in Florida and offers services in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduling step are used to connect clients with her according to her availability.
How CBT and Motivational Interviewing Work Online
Schavonne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn small, practical changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. CBT sessions often include setting clear goals and practicing specific skills between meetings.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach focuses on building motivation through guided conversation rather than pressure, which can be useful for addictions, ambivalence, or making big life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities change.
