About Tavina

Tavina Hensley is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, self-esteem challenges, and relationship concerns. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique situation.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience, Tavina draws on several evidence-informed methods to support clients working through grief, life transitions, workplace struggles, and other sources of distress. She blends practical skills and reflective exploration to build motivation, confidence, and healthier coping strategies.

Tavina often incorporates approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking, client-centered methods that honor the person’s perspective, and elements from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help regulate emotions and reduce impulsivity. Her work also addresses concerns like attachment and abandonment, body image, OCD-related obsessions and compulsions, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal mood changes.

Tavina accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English, adapting format and pace to each client’s goals and preferences.

Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building

Tavina commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered methods to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address compulsive habits. Client-centered methods prioritize the person’s own perspective, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting to strengthen motivation and self-understanding.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process; Tavina aims to collaborate with each client to determine which strategies best match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. She adapts techniques over time, blending skills training, reflective conversation, and motivational work so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills between meetings, while allowing clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
