About Davina
Davina Murray is an Ohio-licensed LPCC with 17 years of experience helping people address anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
She centers her work on the conviction that each person is the expert on their own story and brings strengths that can be built on to meet current challenges. Her approach emphasizes partnership and respectful support as clients explore patterns, goals, and practical steps toward greater well-being.
Davina uses evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness, to help clients develop coping skills, manage intense emotions, and improve communication. She also attends to concerns such as caregiver stress, family difficulties, guilt and shame, impulsivity, social anxiety, and questions of life purpose, adapting strategies to each client's preferences and circumstances.
The tone of her work is collaborative and strengths-focused, aimed at helping people take courageous steps toward more fulfilling and balanced lives.
Integrating Practical Therapies for Online Work
Davina often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for changing behaviors and mood. CBT can be useful for managing depression, anxiety, anger, and problems with motivation by breaking challenges into manageable steps.She also incorporates client-centered and dialectical behavior therapy elements, offering empathic, nonjudgmental support while teaching skills for regulating intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and increasing tolerance for distress. These approaches aim to strengthen coping resources and support long-term change through practiced skills and reflective dialogue.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to clarify goals and preferences, then adjusts techniques from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness so the work fits the client’s life and pacing. This shared decision-making helps ensure the therapeutic plan aligns with what feels most helpful.
Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and daily routines. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not practical.
