About Helen
Helen Davis is a licensed clinical social worker with four decades of experience in mental health. She holds a Master of Social Work from New York University and practices in Colorado as an LCSW and CSW.

She aims to create a calm, accepting space where people feel safe to talk. Helen emphasizes steady presence and compassion during hard conversations.
Background and approach
She helps people name what feels overwhelming and take small steps toward relief. Her work includes supporting people with anxiety, stress, grief, depression, addiction, and burnout. She also helps with issues around self-esteem, career shifts, life transitions, and the strain of caregiving and compassion fatigue.
Helen offers bereavement and hospice-related support based on long experience in hospice settings. Over the years she has drawn on a range of practices that address the body, emotions, and spirit. She may use breath, guided imagery, somatic awareness, or heart-centered techniques when those fit a person’s needs.
Helen tailors each session to what a person says is most helpful in the moment. She works with people who want practical ways to manage symptoms and build resilience. Her style is patient, grounded, and responsive.
Helen encourages realistic goals and steady progress so people can move forward without rushing the process.
Approaches that combine body, emotion, and meaning
Helen brings practices that attend to both the body and the mind. Somatic awareness involves noticing physical sensations and using gentle body-focused techniques to reduce tension and anxiety; it can help with trauma responses and chronic stress. Guided imagery and visualization use focused mental images to shift emotional states and promote relaxation, which can be useful for grief, anxiety, and burnout. Compassion-focused methods center on developing self-kindness and reducing shame, which supports work on self-esteem, guilt, and relationship pain.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Helen listens to a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences, and then suggests techniques that fit. Over time she adjusts methods based on what helps most, and she works at a pace that feels manageable for each person.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text messaging make short check-ins or reflective exchanges possible between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy schedules and access care from different locations.
