About Javonne

Javonne Spivey is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 10 years of experience. She uses a straightforward, collaborative style to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Javonne aims to build trust quickly so people can start tackling real-life problems without delay.

She focuses on practical skills that link thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include learning ways to change unhelpful thinking and using motivation to move toward goals.

Background and approach

Javonne explains techniques in clear language and invites feedback so the work matches each person's needs. Over her career she has helped clients address trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, career questions, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and attention-related challenges.

Her approach combines structured skill-building with conversational support. Javonne holds LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) credentials and practices from Georgia. She values collaboration and encourages active participation from the person in therapy.

That way every step forward is practical and intentional. Her practice makes room for conversations about life purpose alongside symptom-focused work. The aim is to give clear tools, steady support, and a plan people can use between sessions to handle tough moments and make sustained progress.

How her approaches work online

Javonne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new thinking that leads to different actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, gentle way to explore what matters most and to build motivation for change; it helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust the plan as progress is made or new challenges appear.

Online formats let people access this approach from home or on the go. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for skill practice and conversation. Phone sessions offer a flexible option for busy days, while live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into real life.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
