About Javonne
Javonne Spivey brings a cognitive-behavioral orientation to her counseling work, blending practical skill building with collaborative, goal-focused conversations. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing to help clients notice how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and to build actionable strategies for change.
Background and approach
Javonne emphasizes education about thinking patterns and supports clients in developing healthier self-talk and coping skills. With 10 years of clinical experience, Javonne has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, life adjustments, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career decisions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and questions of life purpose.
Her style is described as genuine and validating, and she prioritizes rapport and collaborative treatment planning so clients are active participants in their care. Javonne also integrates personally meaningful resources for those who prefer faith-informed options, including scripture-based exercises and a Christian mental wellness journal she authored focused on reshaping unhelpful thoughts.
She is licensed as an LPC and an LPCC and practices with attention to each client’s goals, strengths, and readiness to change.
Practical, Collaborative Therapy Online Using CBT and Motivational Interviewing
Javonne centers her work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, teaching clients to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop concrete strategies for mood and behavior change. CBT helps with issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and managing stress by connecting thoughts, feelings, and actions in a practical way.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change, using a respectful, goal-oriented conversational style that elicits personal motivation and clarifies values and next steps. This approach can be helpful when working through life transitions, career decisions, or increases in self-directed action.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to determine which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences and adjusts the plan as work progresses. Clients can expect shared decision-making about techniques and priorities so the work feels relevant and achievable.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to connect from varied locations, maintain consistency during busy periods, and access timely encouragement and skill practice between live sessions.
