About Shavonna
Shavonna Peterson, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, 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 self-love.
She uses a straightforward style in sessions. Conversations focus on current problems and clear steps to try. She listens to each person's story and works from the strengths they already have. Sessions are practical and aimed at small, testable changes in thought and behavior.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and try alternative ways of responding. She also integrates Client-Centered methods that emphasize the person's perspective and Emotionally-Focused ideas that look at patterns in relationships. Mindfulness and Jungian perspectives may appear when they help a person understand patterns and meaning.
Over a dozen years of practice have included a range of settings and client concerns. She aims to help people move from feeling stuck to having clearer steps to try. Work in sessions often includes practicing new skills between meetings and reviewing what did and did not help.
People who choose her often want practical, structured support rather than long, open-ended talk. She asks specific questions, sets concrete goals, and checks progress regularly. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site's process to match and schedule an initial session.
How she uses structured approaches in online sessions
Shavonna often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT focuses on specific problems, practical exercises, and measurable steps to try between sessions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to foreground the person's own perspective and goals. That approach emphasizes listening to what matters most to the individual and shaping work around those priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy appears when relationship patterns are a key concern; it looks at how emotions shape interactions and helps people try new ways of responding in relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. This means trying a few techniques and adjusting what is used as progress is checked.
