About Helen
Helen Davis is a licensed clinical social worker with four decades of experience. She holds a Colorado LCSW and a CSW and has practiced psychotherapy since 1979. Helen draws on a long career that began after her own experience as a client and has included hospice work and bereavement support.
She keeps sessions grounded and straightforward. Helen prefers clear conversation about stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and anger. She also helps people facing career questions, life changes, addictions, compassion fatigue, and issues related to sexual orientation and identity.
How Helen works
Over the years Helen has added a range of approaches to her work and treats the person rather than a diagnosis. She pays attention to how feelings show up in the body and to the stories people carry about themselves. Her hospice experience informs support for end-of-life and bereavement concerns.
Helen emphasizes a calm, compassionate presence in sessions. She aims to help people feel heard and to build practical ways to cope with loneliness, midlife crisis, codependency, and related stresses. She also supports those coping with cancer, aging, and the emotional effects of disaster and separation.
Sessions focus on helping clients find more inner peace and clearer direction. Helen works with people to reduce shame and guilt, repair communication patterns, and rediscover life purpose. Her goal is steady, achievable change that fits each person’s life and values.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online care
Helen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on emotion and meaning. One common approach she uses centers on helping people process grief and loss through compassionate conversation and practical coping tools to manage daily tasks and strong feelings. Another approach emphasizes body awareness and how sensations relate to emotional states, helping people notice patterns and develop steadier ways to respond to stress and trauma.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods, review what is working, and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s life and needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people meet face to face when a longer, more interactive session is useful. Phone sessions can be easier when a lighter check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, reflective writing, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity during life transitions.
