About Tavina
Tavina Hensley is a Kentucky LPCC - licensed professional clinical counselor with five years of experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, grief, relationship concerns, and life changes. She also addresses issues such as guilt and shame alongside attachment and abandonment concerns.
She uses plain conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Tavina adapts how she talks and the exercises she suggests to fit each person’s situation and pace.
Tavina draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also incorporates client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own perspective and values. Mindfulness-based techniques are used to build awareness of emotions and bodily responses.
When motivation is low, she uses motivational interviewing approaches to help clarify reasons for change and strengthen commitment. Dialectical behavior therapy skills may be introduced to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance for intense feelings like shame or impulsivity.
Her style is straightforward and practical. People who are carrying guilt about actions, identity, or relationships can expect focused conversation, behavior-based strategies, and short exercises to practice between sessions. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to make sure they fit your needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Clients can expect to see elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy used in online sessions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments; it helps with anxiety, depression, obsessions, and many day-to-day worries. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and priorities, letting the conversation guide which problems get attention and which goals matter most.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress and obstacles become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to have brief check-ins, fit appointments around work or care responsibilities, or avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people keep steady contact with a therapist while working on guilt, shame, mood, or behavior changes.
