Alta Davis, LPC

Alta Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 27 years of clinical experience in Michigan. She focuses on common life problems such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and addiction. She also addresses issues like sleep and eating problems, ADHD, self-esteem, career stress, and caregiving strain.

She uses practical, problem-focused methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. Sessions tend to focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and habitual behavior, then testing small changes to see what helps. Alta draws on a mix of hospital and private-practice work in her background.

Her training includes a Master of Arts in counseling and a Doctorate in Ministry, and she lists additional experience as a Certified Grief Counselor. Alta emphasizes straightforward listening and working with people to build coping skills. She keeps language simple and concrete during sessions so people can try ideas between meetings.

In practice she helps people set short-term goals, try behavioral experiments, and build routines for sleep, eating, and stress management. She also offers support for grief, end-of-life concerns, and caregiver exhaustion. Clients often work on communication problems, control or anger issues, and finding practical next steps after separation or loss.

Her approach mixes focused skill-building with open conversation. Sessions look at what is getting in the way now and what small, testable changes could change daily experience. People leave with concrete strategies they can apply between appointments.
