Shavonna Peterson, LPC

Shavonna Peterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem. She frames the work around each person's strengths and choices, and encourages small steps toward a more satisfying life.

She uses a gentle, person-focused style in sessions. That means conversations center on the client's experience and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Shavonna listens for what matters most and helps people find practical ways to cope and move forward.

Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Jungian ideas, and Mindfulness practices. She draws from these approaches to match techniques to what a person needs, whether that means learning new thinking patterns, strengthening emotional connection, or noticing habits of mind.

With twelve years of experience, Shavonna brings steady support without telling people what to do. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, such as new communication habits, grounding practices, or reframing stressful thoughts.

Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and build confidence. She encourages clients to set a pace that fits their life, and to test changes in small, manageable ways. The goal is practical progress that feels doable day to day.

Approaches to online care and how they help

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own goals. A therapist using this approach offers empathy and reflection to help people clarify what matters and make their own changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, stress, and managing negative self-talk.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong emotions and use them to guide healthier responses in close relationships. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or repeatedly disrupt connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and comfort grow.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and keep momentum between meetings. Please confirm which session formats are available before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Many people find remote work reduces travel time, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it simpler to access care from different locations. Licensed professionals tailor the mix of conversation, exercises, and mindfulness practices to what works best for each client.
