About Helen
Helen Davis is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with four decades of practice. She began her MSW at New York University and has been offering psychotherapy since 1979. Her interest in this work grew from her own experience as a client, and that perspective still informs her approach today.
She uses a blend of compassionate, practical techniques to help people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes.
Background and approach
Helen also supports those dealing with addiction, anger, low self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. She offers bereavement support and has long experience in hospice-related work. Sessions are grounded in helping people feel safe and understood.
Helen focuses on undoing old patterns that no longer serve and on building new ways of responding to difficulties. She brings a calm, patient manner and listens for what matters most to each person. Her background includes many years of clinical work across settings and a steady practice with adults facing major life transitions.
That experience helps when addressing issues such as midlife crisis, loneliness, codependency, and end-of-life concerns. She frames therapy as practical work aimed at clearer choices and improved day-to-day coping. Helen welcomes people who want a thoughtful, experienced guide through hard times.
She works collaboratively to set goals and develop skills that fit each person’s situation. Her aim is to help clients feel more empowered, more peaceful, and more able to express their uniqueness.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Helen draws on compassionate, experiential methods that focus on feeling and body awareness as well as reflective work. One approach emphasizes noticing bodily sensations and how emotions show up in the body to help with trauma, anxiety, and stress-related symptoms. Another approach centers on compassionate self-talk and practices that reduce shame and build self-worth, which can help with depression, grief, and codependency.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and try different methods to see what fits best. Clients and the therapist decide together how to adjust techniques over time to match what is helping most.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls are useful for full face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and brief text or chat check-ins work well for quick support or flexible scheduling. These options give practical flexibility so therapy can happen around work, caregiving, or travel.
