How Schavonne’s approaches fit online care

Schavonne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on approach that helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of reacting. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into clear steps and practical exercises.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing, which focuses on a person’s own reasons for change. This method is helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure, because it builds motivation in small, doable stages through empathic conversation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Schavonne will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether CBT techniques, motivational strategies, or a mix of both will guide the sessions.
