About Davina
Davina Murray is an Ohio-licensed counselor with 17 years of experience who helps people facing anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. She meets people where they are and treats each person as the expert on their own story. Taking the first step toward change can feel hard, and she focuses on practical support as clients make that move.
Her sessions aim to build confidence and motivation through clear, down-to-earth conversation.
Background and approach
She listens for strengths and practical ways to use them. People leave with steps they can try between sessions and a sense of direction for the next phase of life. Davina uses a mix of approaches shaped by what each person needs.
Client-centered work means conversations that follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsivity.
Mindfulness practices are also woven in when they fit, helping people slow down and respond rather than react. Sessions often include skill practice, goal-setting, and straightforward problem-solving. The tone is supportive and practical, focused on making real changes that matter in daily life.
Davina works with adults in Ohio and conducts sessions in English. She aims to help people gain clearer coping strategies and more consistent progress toward their goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Davina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address mood, impulse control, and everyday thinking patterns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new actions to change mood and behavior. DBT teaches specific skills for handling intense emotions, managing impulsivity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls allow fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options help fit work, caregiving, and busy days while keeping focus on practical skill building and achievable steps.
