About Chavekka
Chavekka Edwards is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with eight years of experience. She works with adults on family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and related issues. She also addresses relationship strain, grief, intimacy questions, parenting strain, and work or career stress.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She uses client-centered methods to listen to each person's story. She also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness practices to calm attention in the moment.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Chavekka will talk through patterns you notice from your family of origin and how those patterns affect current choices. She helps people name recurring roles and expectations, and then looks for small changes that can ease conflict or improve boundaries.
She also works with narrative and motivational techniques. Narrative work helps separate the problem from the person by looking at the stories that shape daily reactions. Motivational interviewing supports clearer goals and steady progress when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change.
Chavekka is based in Florida and provides therapy in English. Her style aims to be direct and respectful, with a focus on what will make everyday life feel more manageable. To begin, she'll use a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to set goals together.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective, with the counselor following the person's lead and reflecting what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns rooted in family dynamics. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and to help people notice patterns without immediate judgment; this can support stress management and reduce impulsive responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative process means techniques can shift over time as needs change.
The original profile does not list session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, or allow for a brief check-in during a work break. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they rely on conversation and short exercises rather than lengthy paperwork. Ask about the available formats and session lengths when you schedule.
