Schavonne McCarter, LMHC

Schavonne McCarter is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 15 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, grief, and trauma and abuse. Her work also addresses relationship and family concerns, LGBT issues, eating struggles, and compassion fatigue.

Schavonne aims to make the therapy room a place to speak freely and feel heard. She focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps people can try between sessions. She encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and build new coping skills. Sessions often involve setting clear goals, trying new behaviors, and checking what works. The pace is collaborative and tuned to each person's needs.

She also supports people working through communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and building self-love. Schavonne offers guidance for those facing end-of-life or hospice related concerns and helps people find clearer footing during major life changes.

Finding help can feel hard at first, and she acknowledges that courage is required to begin. Schavonne emphasizes empowerment and steady support as people work toward a more fulfilling life.

How her approaches guide online work

Schavonne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT usually involves identifying patterns, trying new ways of responding, and tracking what changes over time, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change. That approach focuses on listening, exploring personal motivation, and helping clients find their own reasons to move forward, often helpful for addictions and behavior change.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Schavonne will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She adjusts plans as progress and feedback shape the work together.

Many people find remote work helps maintain momentum without rearranging their whole day.
