About Davina
Davina Murray offers calm, straightforward support for people facing anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and big life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely to help clients identify what matters most to them. Davina emphasizes practical steps and steady encouragement rather than lectures or judgment.
She sees each person as the expert on their own life and helps them build on the strengths they already have. Sessions focus on clear goals, small skills to try between meetings, and real-world problem solving.
Background and approach
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Davina draws on 17 years of professional experience and holds an LPCC, which is the credential she uses in Ohio. Her background includes work with mood concerns, panic and anxiety, impulse control, and multicultural issues that affect how people relate and cope.
Her approach blends client-centered conversations with practical tools from cognitive behavioral methods and skills-based strategies found in dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Clients can expect straightforward language, experiment-based homework, and collaborative planning.
Davina supports people through caregiver stress, family conflict, feelings of emptiness, and struggles with purpose or isolation. She aims to make therapy useful and manageable in day-to-day life.
Using practical approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals; the therapist follows each person’s lead and offers support without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce depression, anxiety, or panic symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to match methods to concerns like anger, impulsivity, or low self-worth.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging supports ongoing contact between visits. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving demands.
