About Davina
Davina Murray is an Ohio LPCC with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed by change, or unsure what matters next. Her practice focuses on anger, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She also pays attention to caregiver stress, communication problems, family issues, and feelings of emptiness and isolation.
Davina frames clients as experts in their own stories. She listens for strengths and practical steps a person can try right away. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill practice, and checking what actually helps between meetings. This approach keeps conversations grounded and action oriented rather than abstract.
She uses client-centered principles to follow each person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness techniques are offered for managing strong emotions and improving focus.
In session she helps people notice small changes that reduce overwhelm and build confidence. Work may include emotion-regulation skills, communication practice, and breaking larger decisions into manageable steps. The focus includes life purpose questions when those concerns come up.
Davina practices in Ohio and conducts sessions in English. People who want to try working with her can expect straightforward conversations about goals, strategies to practice between sessions, and regular review of progress.
Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help
Davina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more helpful alternatives; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and decision-making. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsivity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for anger and mood regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try tools that match those goals, and adjust methods over time based on what helps. The emphasis is on practical steps and checking what works between sessions rather than committing to a single method up front.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and use a quieter setting to focus. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote work so clients practice skills between meetings.
