About Tavina
Tavina Hensley is a Kentucky LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem concerns, relationship strain, grief, and challenges around life changes. Tavina also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Her approach centers on working with each person as an individual. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed.
Tavina incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support steady progress. In sessions she talks through practical steps, strategies, and skills people can try between meetings. She emphasizes clear goals and small experiments that help a person notice what changes work.
People meet with Tavina to sort through a period of uncertainty, rebuild confidence after a loss, or regain balance after work or relationship change. She guides conversations about next steps rather than promising a fixed outcome. The focus is on concrete, manageable work that fits into everyday life.
To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session. That first meeting is used to agree on priorities and plan follow-up sessions based on what the client wants to work on.
How Tavina uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people clarify priorities and feel heard so they can set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and routines, then tests new behaviors and thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for regulating intense emotions and tolerating distress when things feel overwhelming.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Tavina will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in on how techniques feel in everyday life and adjusting the plan as needed.
