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, addictions, anger, depression, grief, and life changes. She also supports concerns related to relationships, family issues, LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, eating issues, compassion fatigue, and coaching around self-care and self-love.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then test new ways of thinking and acting. She also applies Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to move toward those goals in manageable steps.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, concrete exercises. Clients can expect to talk about what currently causes difficulty, notice patterns in thoughts and behavior, and try short experiments between sessions. Work may include communication skills, forgiveness work, and techniques to reduce guilt and shame.
Schavonne draws on her years of experience to help people facing end-of-life concerns and hospice-related stress as well as grief and loss. She offers guidance for coping strategies and practical steps to reduce overwhelm during major transitions.
She works in English and is located in Florida. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options so the logistics match your needs.
How CBT and Motivational Interviewing work in online sessions
Schavonne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns in thoughts and actions. CBT sessions often break problems into small parts and focus on short, practical exercises that can be practiced between meetings. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore personal reasons for change and to set doable steps toward goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, Motivational Interviewing, or a combination fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a fixed prescription.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find remote sessions helpful for steady follow-up and practicing skills between meetings, while others prefer different arrangements; discuss scheduling and format when arranging the first appointment.
