01About Shavonna
Shavonna Peterson is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. She approaches work with warmth and respect, and she treats each person as the expert on their own life. Taking a first step toward change can feel scary, and she aims to make that step feel manageable and supported.
She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered principles to listen closely and shape sessions around what matters most to each person. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on connection and patterns in relationships. In sessions she typically helps people name feelings, try small experiments between meetings, and practice mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm.
She also explores body image, communication problems, control issues, and challenges around divorce or separation when those come up. Work often covers guilt, shame, forgiveness, and building self-love. With 12 years of experience, she blends practical strategies with a focus on emotional experience.
She aims to help people find clearer direction and stronger coping skills. People who value an empathetic listener that also offers concrete steps tend to do well in this approach. Sessions are offered in English and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
International clients may be seen depending on scheduling and the matching process.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals and experiences at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients decide what matters most so they can set practical goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it teaches simple skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or improve mood.Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean using CBT techniques for anxiety, client-centered support for exploring life purpose, or elements of emotionally-focused work when relationship patterns are the main concern.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, live chat suits people who prefer typed conversation in real time, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins or brief reflections between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible to fit work, family schedules, and travel plans.
