Shavonna Peterson, LPC

Shavonna Peterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She frames the work around each person's story and strengths. Her approach respects the courage it takes to reach out for change and offers steady support along the way.

Shavonna focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life. She listens first, then helps clients set small goals and try new ways of coping. Sessions often look at communication habits, boundaries, and how past hurts affect current relationships.

Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, emotionally-focused work, Jungian ideas, and mindfulness practices. That mix lets her tailor sessions to what a person needs most, from managing anxious thoughts to improving connection with others.

Shavonna brings 12 years of professional experience in counseling settings across Georgia. She emphasizes clear, simple strategies people can use between appointments. She also supports deeper reflection when clients want to explore patterns from earlier life experiences.

People who reach out can expect a calm, collaborative tone. The therapist helps clients notice strengths, try practical changes, and track progress. For parents and adults juggling many responsibilities, she aims to make therapy useful and doable in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's strengths. Sessions emphasize being heard, clarifying goals, and making changes that feel right for the individual. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that affect relationships. Emotionally-focused therapy pays attention to feelings and interactions that shape close connections and can help people repair or improve important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That plan can change as you learn what helps most, so decisions are collaborative and adjusted over time.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and offer more flexible scheduling. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and can reduce the time commitment around appointments, which helps make consistent work on stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns more achievable.
