About Helen
Helen Davis is a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado with 40 years of clinical experience. She began training with a Master of Social Work from New York University and has practiced psychotherapy since 1979. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, and life purpose concerns.
She uses a variety of approaches gathered over decades of work. Helen has experience providing hospice and bereavement services and supports people facing cancer, end-of-life decisions, and related caregiving strains. She also works with issues such as codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, isolation, and midlife questions.
In sessions she blends conversational work with body-focused methods and imagery when appropriate. That can include techniques drawn from somatic approaches, visualization, and emotion-focused tools. Helen also offers practices some clients find meaningful, such as forgiveness work, inner child processes, and compassion-focused ideas.
Her background includes longstanding practice in community and hospice settings, and she draws on that experience when helping people cope with loss and major life transitions. She also supports people exploring career direction, purpose, and how to rebuild after change.
Helen works in English and accepts international clients. Her practice acknowledges spiritual interests for those who bring them, while keeping the focus practical - helping people name what matters and take manageable steps forward.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Helen draws on somatic-informed work to help clients notice how stress and grief show up in the body. Somatic approaches focus on bodily sensations and gentle movement or awareness exercises to reduce overwhelm and increase regulation, which can be useful for trauma, anxiety, and grief.She also uses visualization and emotion-focused techniques to help people clarify values and process difficult feelings. Visualization can assist with imagining next steps, rehearsing conversations, or easing anxiety during transitions. Compassion-focused methods are offered to support people working through shame, guilt, or self-criticism.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Helen typically talks with clients about their goals, past experiences with therapy, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps the person feel steadier and more able to take next steps.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used. Please confirm current session formats before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and video allows face-to-face interaction for practices like guided visualization.
