About Dnaydavina
Dnaydavina James uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people handle hard moments. As a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience, she focuses on addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with big life changes. She keeps sessions clear and straightforward so people can make steady progress.
James combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to address habits, mood, and motivation. Sessions emphasize small, doable steps.
Background and approach
Clients learn tools to manage impulses, shift negative thinking, and practice present-moment awareness. She often works with issues tied to family of origin, relationship patterns, codependency, and communication breakdowns. That practical focus extends to concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, infidelity, and problems with commitment or control.
The goal is to build skills that help in daily life. Her approach is collaborative and direct. She helps people identify what matters to them, set realistic goals, and test new ways of handling old problems.
Meetings include discussion, behavioral exercises, and mindfulness practices tailored to the person's pace. Sessions can include conversations about recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, managing impulsivity, or navigating divorce and blended family stress. James brings steady guidance and 22 years of clinical perspective to each step of the process.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Dnaydavina James uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often involves homework and simple behavior experiments that fit well into remote sessions. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach attention and acceptance skills that reduce stress and reactivity; short guided practices and moment-to-moment noticing can be practiced between appointments. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change habits by strengthening their own reasons and plans for change in a nonconfrontational way.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs. Together you will review what helps and adjust the plan so it feels useful and doable over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit short updates or coping reminders into a busy day. These options help people keep continuity of care and use therapeutic tools in everyday life.
