About Helen
Helen Davis is a licensed clinical social worker with roots in New York and a long career in Colorado. She earned a Master of Social Work from New York University and has practiced psychotherapy since 1979. Helen's work grew out of her own experience as a client, and that perspective still shapes how she listens and responds.
She draws on a range of techniques that include somatic work, visualization, compassion-based approaches, and several energy and body-oriented practices. Helen also offers bereavement support informed by many years as a hospice social worker. Her sessions emphasize safety, respect, and a calm presence.
People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes like divorce or midlife transitions. She also supports those coping with addiction, compassion fatigue, career uncertainty, and questions about life purpose. Helen works with issues related to aging, cancer, and end-of-life concerns when those topics arise.
Her style is gentle and grounded. She talks with people about practical ways to regain a sense of balance. Sessions can include body-centered exercises, guided imagery, or emotion-focused conversation, depending on what fits the person in front of her.
With four decades of experience Helen aims to help people feel more empowered and find more inner peace. She invites clients to take small steps toward change and to uncover strengths that have been hidden by stress and old defenses.
How her approaches translate to online care
Helen incorporates a few practical, evidence-based approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Somatic work focuses on helping people notice bodily sensations and gentle movement to reduce anxiety and stress; it helps when emotions feel stuck in the body. Compassion-based approaches teach skills for responding to oneself with warmth and understanding, which can ease shame, self-criticism, and burnout.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and choose techniques that match those needs. That collaborative process makes it easier to adapt methods over time if something is not helping.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling. Some techniques, like guided imagery or brief somatic exercises, adapt well to remote sessions and can be used during short check-ins or longer therapy visits.
