About Chavekka

Chavekka Edwards is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with family conflict, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, relationship strains, and related concerns often seen in early adulthood.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort out what matters most. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and on client-centered methods to follow the person’s pace.

Her approach also includes mindfulness practices to help with stress and emotional regulation. Narrative therapy ideas are used when looking at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or needs a clearer plan.

In a typical session she will listen, reflect what she hears, and work with the client to set small, doable goals. Conversations are aimed at managing symptoms like anxiety or anger, improving communication, and building problem-solving skills useful for work, study, and relationships.

Chavekka keeps language plain and focuses on what will work day to day. She asks about current challenges and past experiences that matter for the issue at hand. If someone is considering therapy, she guides them through the first scheduling steps and what to expect in early sessions.

Approaches you might use in online sessions

Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to the person in a way that reflects their goals. It’s useful when someone needs a calm space to sort priorities and decide what they want to change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks down problems into manageable steps and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress.

Mindfulness methods train attention to the present moment and simple breathing or noticing exercises. These techniques help reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation during stressful periods.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the specific issues you bring and then recommend which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time or bandwidth is limited, and for using practices like mindfulness between sessions to build steady progress.
