About Shavonna
Shavonna Peterson helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She frames therapy as a space to sort through hard feelings and make small, steady changes. Shavonna is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Georgia with 12 years of experience.
She centers sessions on what each person brings to the room. Conversations often start with what feels most urgent.
Background and approach
From there she works with clients to set clear, manageable goals and to try practical steps between sessions. Her methods draw on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral skills, emotionally-focused work, Jungian ideas about meaning, and mindfulness practices. That mix helps with symptoms like anxiety and with deeper issues such as shame, forgiveness, and life purpose.
Sessions combine talk, skill-building, and reflective exercises. Shavonna pays attention to everyday pressures like body image, communication problems, control issues, and the fallout from separation or divorce. She also supports work on self-love, guilt, and rebuilding trust after trauma.
The focus is on realistic changes that fit a person’s life. People who reach out can expect a calm, direct style. Shavonna aims to be practical and encouraging while also addressing emotional depth.
She helps clients notice small wins and to build on them over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy is about listening carefully and following the client’s lead, focusing on what matters most to them and building goals from their strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. Emotionally-focused therapy, or EFT, helps people understand and shift patterns in their emotional responses, which can improve connection and reduce repeated cycles of conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel useful and match their goals. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a headset is easier, live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or travel while keeping the focus on progress and practical strategies.
