Alta Davis

Alta Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing grief, stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. She offers calm listening and straightforward support for the hard moments that come with illness, loss, caregiving, and changing roles.

She brings 27 years of experience in hospitals and private practice to each meeting. Alta holds a Master of Arts in Counseling and a Doctorate in Ministry, and she has worked across mental health settings. Her background includes long experience supporting people through hospice and end-of-life concerns alongside other challenges.

Her sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away. She uses client-centered conversations to identify what matters most, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals. Mindfulness practices are woven in when clients want tools to steady attention and emotion.

Alta aims to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where people can speak frankly about fear, guilt, anger, and uncertainty. She listens for strengths and helps build coping skills for sleep, mood, relationships, and caregiving strain.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances empathy with tangible tools. Alta supports work on grief, depression, addiction concerns, trauma, self-esteem, and life-purpose questions while adapting strategies to each person's pace and priorities.

How these approaches translate to online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your priorities. The therapist reflects what matters to you and helps you set the pace for change, which is useful for processing grief and end-of-life concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It includes practical exercises and short homework tasks to improve sleep, mood, and coping with anxiety or depression.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention exercises and simple grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and bring steadiness during stressful moments.

Deciding which approach fits is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then tailor sessions together. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to keep appointments around work, caregiving, or medical visits, and it lets people use short check-ins or longer sessions depending on their needs. Talk with the therapist about how to fit sessions into your routine and which tools - practices, worksheets, or brief exercises - will be most helpful.
