About Javonne
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC, LPCC) with 10 years of experience, Javonne Spivey helps people facing depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, trauma, and relationship concerns. She practices in Georgia and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as the basis for her work. Sessions include discussion of thoughts, feelings, and practical steps people can use between meetings.
Spivey focuses on how thoughts influence emotions and behavior. She explains connections plainly and teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify goals and strengthen motivation for change.
She also integrates Christian faith into clinical work when clients request it, using scripture and faith-based exercises such as guided scripture reflection and prayerful thoughts. Spivey developed a Christian mental wellness journal called Changing My Unhealthy Thoughts to guide clients through replacing negative self-talk with scripture-rooted reflections.
Sessions emphasize collaboration. Clients are invited to give feedback and take an active role in setting goals and homework. Spivey often uses short exercises in-session and assigns practical strategies to practice between meetings.
Her background includes a decade of work with adults on issues like grief, parenting strain, career transitions, compassion fatigue, anger, and ADHD-related concerns. She frames treatment around real-life problems and step-by-step skills rather than abstract theory.

How CBT and Motivational Interviewing guide online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It teaches specific skills to change thinking patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for depression, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and some stress-related problems.Motivational Interviewing helps clarify what matters most to a person and builds willingness to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen a person’s own reasons for taking action. This approach is often paired with CBT to set goals and follow through on plans.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match goals and preferences. Clients can expect to discuss what has helped before and try short, practical exercises to see what fits.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks or between commitments. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises for remote meetings so sessions focus on skills practice and problem solving rather than lengthy theory.
