Helen Davis, LCSW, CSW

Helen Davis has been practicing psychotherapy since 1979. She is a clinical social worker licensed in Colorado and holds a Master of Social Work from New York University. Her interest in this work began from her own experience as a client, and that perspective shapes how she meets people now.

Over four decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, jealousy, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing career shifts, life changes, and questions about meaning and purpose. In addition she offers bereavement and hospice-related support rooted in her hospice social work background.

Her sessions draw on varied approaches that include somatic work, compassion-focused ideas, visualization, and techniques some people describe as energy work. She also uses inner child work and tools such as Emotional Freedom Technique when they fit a person’s needs. For clients with spiritual interests she can incorporate perspectives from A Course in Miracles.

Helen emphasizes safety, steadiness, and practical steps. She helps people name what is hardest, notice unhelpful patterns, and try small changes that can ease daily life. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and build clearer choices.

She describes therapy as collaborative and grounded in compassion. People who want a therapist with long experience, a willingness to blend practical and experiential tools, and an interest in both emotional and spiritual healing may find her approach a good match.

How Helen’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Helen integrates somatic approaches and compassion-focused work into sessions. Somatic approaches help people notice how stress and emotion show up in the body and use simple movement or breath to ease tense patterns. Compassion-focused ideas teach ways to respond to oneself with less judgment and more care, which can reduce shame and self-criticism.

She also uses visualization and inner child exercises for people who want to work with memories and emotions in an imaginal way. These tools can help with grief, jealousy, guilt, and feelings of emptiness by giving concrete practices to try between sessions.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist and client will look at needs, goals, and preferences together and try methods that fit the person. Helen adjusts techniques over time based on what helps and what feels comfortable.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue work when relocation or travel would otherwise interrupt progress, while keeping the focus on practical steps that transfer into everyday routines.
