About Davina
Davina Murray is an Ohio-licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 17 years of experience. She supports adults facing common early-adulthood pressures such as low self-esteem, depression, anger, and the strain of big life changes. She also works with people managing ADHD-related challenges and with concerns like social anxiety and feelings of emptiness.
Davina centers her work on the person in front of her. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them notice strengths they already have. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills that can be used between meetings, not just talk about problems.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy tools. That means conversations about how thoughts, actions, and emotions connect, plus hands-on strategies for managing intense feelings and improving day-to-day habits.
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people slow down and notice unhelpful patterns as they happen. These practices are offered in clear, concrete ways that fit day-to-day routines like work, school, or care responsibilities.
Davina’s background includes nearly two decades of work in counseling. Her steady focus is on helping people find manageable ways to cope, rebuild confidence, and handle life transitions. For someone feeling stuck after college, changing jobs, or navigating new responsibilities, she offers straightforward, goal-focused support.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping clients lead the conversation. Online sessions let the therapist follow the client’s priorities and adapt each meeting to what feels most urgent that week.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. In virtual sessions this often means setting short exercises, reviewing progress, and practicing new ways of thinking between meetings.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers tools for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal skills. Online meetings can be used to learn and rehearse these skills, then check in about how they worked in real situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which combination of methods fits their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That choice can change over time as priorities shift.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around school, jobs, or caregiving by cutting travel time or allowing shorter check-ins on busy days. Talk with the therapist during the matching steps about what session length and timing will work best for regular progress.
