Javonne Spivey, LPC, LPCC

Javonne Spivey is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC, LPCC) with more than 10 years of experience supporting people through depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, trauma, and relationship difficulties. She approaches counseling with genuine validation and a focus on building strong therapeutic rapport so clients can recognize strengths and move toward meaningful goals.

Her work is collaborative - she invites feedback and encourages clients to be active participants in their care. Javonne blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, helping individuals understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and teaching practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and improve daily functioning.

As a Christian, she sometimes incorporates scripture into treatment when clients wish to include faith-based resources. She authored a mental wellness journal titled Changing My Unhealthy Thoughts, which introduces a technique called prayerful thoughts - replacing unhealthy thoughts with scripture-rooted alternatives - and offers structured exercises for addressing depression, anxiety, self-worth, and life purpose.

Javonne invites those interested to share their stories and partner with her in developing a plan for wellness and growth. Her style is warm and intentional, aimed at helping clients pursue greater well-being and personal effectiveness.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Javonne often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and the behaviors that follow. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes because it focuses on clear skills and strategies that can be practiced between sessions.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative conversational style that helps people strengthen their own motivation to change. This approach is useful when someone is uncertain about goals or needs support resolving ambivalence around personal change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Javonne works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She welcomes client feedback and adjusts the plan based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet clients where they are, with options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make scheduling easier, support consistent access to care, and allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing guidance and skill-building across different communication styles.
