About Helen
Helen Davis is a licensed clinical social worker with four decades of psychotherapy experience. She holds a Master of Social Work from New York University and practices in Colorado as an LCSW, CSW. Helen began her path to therapy after her own experience as a client and keeps that perspective central to her work.
Her style is calm and steady. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and problems with self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing career shifts, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and compassion fatigue. Helen provides bereavement and hospice-related counseling informed by long experience in end-of-life settings. Her approach draws on a mix of practices that include somatic work, energy techniques, visualization, compassion-based methods, and inner child processes.
She respects each person's background and faith, and she invites spiritual interests into therapy when a client wants that. The goal is practical change that fits each person's life. Sessions aim to help a person feel safer in their body and clearer about next steps.
Helen listens, reflects patterns that get in the way, and offers tools clients can use between sessions. People who prefer a thoughtful, relational style often find her helpful. She offers services in English and accepts international clients.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Helen combines a long track record with a gentle, down-to-earth manner to support people working through difficult life changes and phobias.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Helen integrates somatic work and compassion-based methods into her practice. Somatic work focuses on how stress and trauma show up in the body and uses attention to bodily sensations and movement to help reduce tension and increase a sense of safety. Compassion-based methods help people reduce harsh self-judgment and build kinder inner responses, which can ease anxiety, shame, and grief.She also uses visualization and inner child approaches for clients who find imagery useful; these tools can help access new ways of relating to painful memories and unmet needs. Helen approaches these techniques as practical tools rather than labels, and she will discuss what might fit best for each person's needs and goals. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process and she works with clients to adjust methods as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat work well for short updates or when people prefer written reflection. These options help clients fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care across locations.
