About Dnaydavina

Dnaydavina James is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Oklahoma with 22 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with depression, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and big life changes. Clients commonly bring concerns about relationships, workplace stress, and feeling stuck during transitions.

In sessions she uses straightforward conversation and practical tools. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at unhelpful thinking and patterns. Mindfulness exercises are used to calm intense emotions and to notice reactions without judgment. Motivational Interviewing helps people find reasons to change and commit to small steps.

Dnaydavina often works with people facing family-of-origin issues, blended family strain, communication and control problems, and separation or divorce. She also supports people dealing with codependency, infidelity, impulsivity, and drug or alcohol addiction. Body image and caregiver stress are also addressed in her practice.

Her approach focuses on clear goals and concrete skills. Sessions include talking through recent events, planning manageable behavior changes, and practicing coping techniques. She encourages tracking progress and adjusting plans as needs change.

People considering therapy are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling. International clients who speak English can be seen. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her main approaches work in online sessions

Dnaydavina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to test small changes that reduce distress. CBT is useful for depression, anxiety, and patterns that feed addiction or low self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to help people notice their moment-to-moment experience and to ease strong emotions through simple attention practices. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to clarify values and boost motivation for change, often helpful for substance use and commitment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what feels most useful based on your goals and day-to-day life. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or new concerns appear.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy routine by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins around work or school, and making it easier to maintain continuity while relocating. Therapists can adapt exercises and homework to suit online meetings so skills practice continues between sessions.
