Helen Davis

Helen Davis is a clinical social worker with four decades of experience. She holds a master of social work from New York University and is licensed as an LCSW in Colorado. Her interest in therapy began from her own experience as a client, and she brings that perspective to her work. Over the years she has worked in hospice settings and currently offers bereavement services tied to end-of-life care. She also supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, compassion fatigue, and life changes such as divorce or career transition. Helen helps people who are wrestling with guilt, shame, emptiness, and questions of life purpose. Her approach brings together practical techniques and reflective work. She uses body-centered methods, imagery, and emotion-focused practices alongside conversational coaching. For clients who are open to spiritual ideas, she integrates spiritual material when it fits the person’s goals. Helen emphasizes a calm, respectful presence in sessions. She focuses on creating a sense of safety so people can name what hurts and try new ways of responding. The aim is to reduce distress, increase coping, and help people move toward the values they want to live by. Because she has worked with aging, cancer, and hospice-related issues, Helen is familiar with concerns that come up at the end of life. She encourages clients to bring practical questions and emotional worries to sessions so they can be addressed together.

Approaches that guide online work and bereavement care

Helen draws on evidence-based, emotion-focused techniques that help people name and move through strong feelings. These approaches use guided conversation and exercises to identify emotional patterns, practice new ways of responding, and reduce distress associated with grief, anxiety, or depression.

She also uses body-oriented methods that help people notice physical sensations tied to stress or trauma. These practices can be helpful for people who carry tension in the body or who want a concrete way to regulate emotions during upsetting moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that match those priorities. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to keep using or adapt.
