About Javonne

Javonne Spivey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 10 years of experience. She practices in Georgia and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, anger, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, grief, and parenting-related pressures.

She uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions emphasize identifying strengths and small steps toward goals. Motivational Interviewing is used to support ambivalence and strengthen personal motivation.

Javonne often brings scripture into sessions when clients want that perspective. She created a Christian mental wellness journal, Changing My Unhealthy Thoughts, which teaches using scripture and a technique she calls prayerful thoughts to challenge and replace unhelpful thinking.

In conversation she invites feedback and keeps the work collaborative. Clients are encouraged to take an active role, try skills between meetings, and notice what helps them feel more steady day to day.

Her work also covers career concerns, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related issues, ADHD-related struggles, life purpose, and coping with life changes. People looking for help with family or parenting stresses will find concrete strategies and discussion focused on their individual role and decisions.

How sessions work

How her approaches work in online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It teaches practical skills to change thinking patterns that feed anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people find their own reasons to change and move toward goals when they feel stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss your needs and preferences and adjust methods together. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize skill practice, scripture-based tools, motivational conversations, or a mix of these methods.

The biography does not specify exact online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals commonly use video or phone for flexible scheduling, but verify which options this therapist currently offers when you set up the first appointment.
