About Chavekka
Chavekka Edwards is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of related struggles. She uses a respectful, down-to-earth style and aims to make conversations feel safe and straightforward. Chavekka encourages practical steps and clear goals so families can start making small changes quickly.
She brings eight years of professional experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC. Her work includes help for trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, anxiety, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and caregiving strain.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing career questions, self-esteem challenges, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. In sessions she adapts the conversation and plan to the person or family in front of her. She draws from a mix of approaches including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative work.
This allows her to balance practical skills with space to tell and reframe difficult stories. Chavekka aims to be compassionate and sensitive while keeping things clear. She helps clients identify small, realistic steps and practices between meetings.
For parents and families, she focuses on communication, boundaries, and coping strategies that fit everyday life. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Chavekka works through online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support
Chavekka often uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions begin with listening and following the concerns you bring. This approach helps people and families feel heard while shaping goals together. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing concrete skills to change reactions and behaviors.These approaches are chosen to match each person’s needs rather than fitting everyone into one method. The therapist collaborates with clients to decide which tools to try first and adjusts the plan as goals shift. That way families and individuals can test practical strategies and keep what works for them.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These formats let people attend sessions from home, fit conversations into busy days, and use brief messages for check-ins between meetings. For many parents and caregivers, that flexibility makes it easier to keep progress moving while managing family responsibilities.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
