Tavina Hensley

Tavina Hensley is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She offers a caring, down-to-earth approach and aims to meet people where they are. Tavina emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation.

Her work often centers on practical steps you can try between sessions. She helps people untangle difficult emotions, rebuild confidence, and find small ways to make daily life feel more manageable. Motivation and relationship concerns are common topics she addresses.

Tavina uses ideas from client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on the person's experience. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are offered when they fit the goals.

She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. Over five years of practice, Tavina has worked with a range of concerns including grief, addictions, body image, attachment and obsessive-compulsive patterns.

Her goal is to tailor each session to a person's needs and pace. She invites clients to shape the plan and keeps work practical and manageable. If you are unsure where to begin, she encourages taking a small first step and exploring options together.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and guides the conversation toward their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tavina will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs and goals. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most, combining listening with hands-on skill building when appropriate.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving by reducing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and can accommodate people who benefit from mindfulness exercises or homework between appointments.
