Chavekka Edwards, LMHC

Chavekka Edwards is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, anxiety, and stress. She practices from Florida and brings eight years of experience to therapy. Chavekka aims to create a respectful and sensitive space where each person feels heard.

She uses clear goals and practical steps in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach, along with client-centered and mindfulness techniques. She focuses on what is happening now and on small changes that build better daily habits.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Chavekka listens first, then co-creates a plan that fits the client’s life and priorities. This might include problem-solving for parenting or career stress, or strategies for managing anger and mood swings.

Her work also addresses complicated losses, intimacy concerns, and issues tied to adoption, abandonment, or blended families. She supports clients coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and burnout from compassion fatigue. Practical tools and steady follow-up are emphasized.

Chavekka uses motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when helpful to explore values and personal stories. She encourages realistic steps toward change and checks in on progress. The goal is steady, manageable improvement rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Chavekka commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and stress responses. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and builds a supportive, nonjudgmental conversation to help people find their own solutions.

She may also draw on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation. Together, the approaches help with anger, depression, relationship stress, caregiving strain, and coping with life changes in practical ways.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Chavekka will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. She adjusts methods over time so sessions stay relevant and useful rather than fixed to one style.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone work can be helpful when less bandwidth or movement is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit short updates into a busy day. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit into real life.
