About Davina
Davina Murray is an Ohio LPCC with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and the strain of life changes. She helps adults who want clear, practical ways to feel more steady and in control.
She uses straightforward methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Sessions focus on identifying triggers, testing new responses, and building small daily habits that change how someone reacts to stress. Techniques draw on cognitive behavioral strategies alongside client-centered conversation, mindfulness skills, and DBT tools for emotion regulation.
Davina treats problems like panic attacks, mood disorders, social anxiety, and feelings of emptiness by breaking them into manageable steps. She pays attention to cultural background and how it affects coping and communication. Work may include practicing short skills between sessions and reviewing what helped or didn’t.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She guides people to try specific exercises and then reviews results together. Sessions are paced to the individual, moving from immediate coping strategies to longer-term habit shifts.
For someone who wants concrete tools and direct feedback, she offers focused, step-by-step work. The first session typically clarifies goals and outlines the first few steps. From there, progress is monitored and plans adjusted as needed.
How CBT, DBT and Client-Centered Work Translate Online
Davina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior. CBT sessions often involve identifying specific thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and practicing alternative responses between meetings. DBT contributes concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for strong or impulsive feelings, along with ways to improve how someone reacts in heated moments. Client-centered therapy provides a conversational, listening-based frame where the therapist follows the person’s concerns and priorities.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adapt the plan based on what the person finds useful. The process is about testing practical strategies together rather than committing to a single method from the start.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow quick check-ins when skills need reinforcement. It also makes it possible to practice techniques in the settings where problems occur and then review those attempts in session.
