How her approaches translate to online work
Davina uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in clear, practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client's perspective, using listening and empathy to guide decisions about what to work on.She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Those tools can help with impulsivity, intense mood swings, and managing the urge to react in the moment.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide what techniques fit their goals and daily life. That means adapting exercises and practice tasks to what is realistic for the client.
