About Helen
Helen Davis is a clinical social worker with four decades of practice. She earned a Master of Social Work from New York University and is licensed as an LCSW in Colorado. Her own experience as a therapy client shaped her decision to become a therapist and informs how she relates to people in sessions.
She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and struggles with self-esteem and life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, career concerns, and LGBT-related issues. Helen has long experience offering bereavement and hospice-related support. Her work combines practical talk with body-centered exercises and imagery when useful.
She uses techniques that invite compassion for oneself, gentle attention to early wounds, and tools to calm strong emotions. Sessions aim to help people notice what no longer serves them and begin different ways of responding. Helen describes therapy as a courageous, gradual process.
She focuses on creating a calm, steady presence so people feel safe enough to try new approaches. That steady presence is central whether someone is coping with loss, midlife change, or ongoing anxiety. She welcomes discussion of spiritual interests for those who find that helpful and draws on a wide range of methods when it fits the person.
Therapy with her is paced to the individual and meant to support meaningful change in daily life and relationships.

Approaches that guide online care
Helen draws on methods that combine talk-based work with body-focused and imagery practices. One approach she uses centers on mindful body awareness to help people notice where strong emotions show up in the body and learn ways to calm those reactions; this can be useful for stress, anxiety, and anger. She also relies on compassion-focused practices that help people soften self-criticism and build kinder internal responses, which often supports recovery from grief, shame, and low self-esteem.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Helen discusses options with each person, pays attention to what feels workable, and adjusts techniques to match goals and comfort. The plan is revisited as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and respectful of personal values.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper interaction, phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is low, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, travel schedules, or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on steady, practical change.
