Javonne Spivey

Javonne Spivey is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC, LPCC) with more than 10 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Javonne also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career questions, grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and questions around life purpose.

Her style is warm and validating. She builds a working relationship with each person and invites feedback so sessions match what the person needs. Javonne emphasizes simple, practical skills people can use between sessions to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to show how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find motivation when change feels hard. Javonne explains these ideas in everyday language and works with people to set small, doable goals.

Javonne sometimes integrates personal faith and scripture when a person wants that included. She created a Christian mental wellness journal called Changing My Unhealthy Thoughts that teaches a practice she calls prayerful thoughts, which pairs scripture with techniques to challenge negative thinking.

People who choose to work with her can expect collaborative sessions focused on practical strategies and personal goals. She looks to help people identify strengths, build new habits, and move toward a clearer sense of purpose.

How CBT and Motivational Interviewing work online

CBT helps people notice the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can teach practical tools to challenge negative thinking and build new habits that reduce anger, anxiety, and low mood. Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters to the person and helps them find reasons to change when motivation feels low. It is useful for starting and keeping progress on goals like stress management or lifestyle shifts.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and day-to-day needs. If faith-based practices are important to the person, those can be incorporated in a way that supports their aims.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a break, or letting people meet from a familiar setting. These practical benefits often help people keep momentum between appointments and apply skills where they live and work.
