Background and approach
She aims to make the work feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Schavonne uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients make change. That can mean learning new ways to spot unhelpful thoughts, practicing small behavior changes, or finding motivation when change feels hard.
The methods are used to address issues such as trauma, eating concerns, compassion fatigue, and relationship struggles. Her style is practical and supportive. She helps people set clear goals and breaks bigger problems into smaller steps.
Progress is measured in what people can do differently in daily life. With 15 years of experience as an LMHC, Schavonne draws on a range of clinical work. She works with people experiencing end-of-life and hospice questions, and offers coaching-style guidance when clients want a goal-oriented plan.
Conversations are plainspoken and focused on what matters most to each person.
How CBT and Motivational Interviewing work online
Schavonne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into specific patterns and teaches practical skills people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This approach focuses on building motivation and resolving mixed feelings, which can be useful for addictions, lifestyle shifts, or when change feels daunting.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Schavonne will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they decide whether CBT, Motivational Interviewing, or a mix of methods best fits the situation.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or short coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
