About JaVae
JaVae Parham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with five years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, family conflict, parenting challenges, depression, and big life changes. JaVae approaches these issues by treating each person as the expert on their own life and by building on the strengths they already have.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is most pressing. JaVae uses practical tools drawn from evidence-informed approaches to help people manage emotions and cope with daily demands. Sessions focus on skills that can be applied between meetings, such as handling intense feelings, changing unhelpful patterns, and improving communication with others.
Her work also covers concerns like body image, caregiver stress, codependency, control issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She supports people dealing with divorce or separation, family of origin problems, and mood difficulties including obsessive or compulsive behavior.
JaVae combines methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix is used to match tools to a person’s situation rather than apply a single method to everyone.
Sessions are practical and collaborative. JaVae helps people set clear goals, try new ways of coping, and review what works in real life. The focus is on steady, achievable changes rather than quick fixes.
How her therapies translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while managing difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and the sense of being stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behavior. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and mood-related symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those tools can be helpful for strong emotions, impulsivity, and relationship strain.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and day-to-day life. That decision can change over time as progress is reviewed together.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they fit around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
