About Davina
Davina Murray is an Ohio licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down by daily life. She centers sessions on each person's strengths and choices. She invites people to name what matters and take small steps toward more satisfying days.
With 17 years of experience, she supports work on anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also helps people managing ADHD-related challenges, mood swings, panic, and social anxiety. She pays attention to family tensions, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Her approach is grounded in Client-Centered Therapy, which means she listens first and follows the client’s lead. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when practical. Mindfulness strategies are used to help people pause and respond rather than react.
Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps people can use between meetings. She emphasizes clear goals, simple skills, and building on what already works in a person's life. The therapist aims to create a calm space for people to try new ways of coping.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. In online sessions this means the therapist will ask about what matters most and let the client's concerns shape each meeting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns; it's useful for depression, anxiety, and mood challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can help with impulsivity and strong mood swings.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose which methods to try based on current needs and preferences. That choice can shift over time as goals evolve and new skills are practiced.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills between meetings in the places they live and work, helping transfer what is learned into everyday life.
