About Schavonne
Schavonne McCarter is a Florida LMHC with 15 years of experience. She helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, and depression. She also supports those facing life changes, grief, and issues around relationships and LGBT concerns.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and small steps to try between meetings. Schavonne uses concrete tools and emotional check-ins so clients can notice patterns and try new responses when they feel stuck or reactive.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. With CBT she helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of thinking and acting. With Motivational Interviewing she helps people find personal reasons to make changes and build steady momentum.
Common topics include trouble communicating, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and managing compassion fatigue. She also offers support around hospice and end-of-life concerns and issues with eating and self-love. Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on usable skills rather than abstract theory.
People considering therapy are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Schavonne works from Florida and conducts sessions in English. International clients are not accepted at this time.

The process is about experimenting with practical steps and reviewing what helps most.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can make it simpler to try homework between meetings and to bring real-life situations into conversation for immediate feedback.
