About JaVae
JaVae Parham is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Alabama with five years of clinical experience. She works with people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed by family and parenting challenges. She also supports those facing depression and major life changes.
JaVae frames the person as the expert in their own story. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills that people can use between meetings. Conversations aim to identify what feels most important to the client and to try small, manageable changes that build confidence.
Her work draws on several common approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, and acceptance-based tools to make space for difficult emotions while moving toward personal values. She also uses client-centered skills to listen and reflect so the person feels understood and heard.
Typical concerns addressed include family conflict and communication problems, caregiver stress, codependency, body image, and feelings of isolation. She also works with mood difficulties, obsessive thoughts or compulsions, and issues that follow divorce or separation.
Clients can expect a straightforward, practical style that focuses on skills, small experiments, and clearer communication. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s matching steps to schedule an initial session and discuss goals.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then acting in ways that align with what matters to the person. It can help when anxiety or avoidance get in the way of daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test them with small behavioral experiments. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and low mood because it gives concrete skills to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal skills. These skills can be useful for people dealing with impulsivity, strong mood shifts, or relationship conflicts.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that fit goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. That planning happens together during the first sessions and can be adjusted over time.
