About Chavekka

Chavekka Edwards is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with eight years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns including family conflict, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and stress.

Background and approach

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and care plans to fit the needs of the individual rather than applying a single formula. Her practice also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and blended family dynamics, self-esteem and career concerns, and complex challenges such as bipolar disorder, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.

Edwards integrates evidence-informed methods to help clients build coping skills and clarify goals. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches, motivational interviewing, and narrative work to support practical change and deeper understanding.

Operating in Florida as an LMHC, she frames growth as a collaborative process and aims to create a space where people can take courageous steps toward greater stability, healthier relationships, and improved day-to-day functioning.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Chavekka Edwards uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and on practicing new skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaborative goal setting so clients feel heard while exploring their values and priorities.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to help people develop present-focused awareness and stress regulation through simple attention and breathing practices. Together these methods offer both skill-building and reflective space, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which combination best fits their needs and goals rather than prescribing a single approach up front.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, supporting flexible scheduling and ongoing access to care. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and use the therapeutic approach in real-world moments between meetings.
