About Helen

Helen Davis is a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado with 40 years of practice. She earned her Master of Social Work from New York University and has worked in clinical and hospice settings. She often sees people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and challenges around self-esteem and life transitions.

Her background includes long experience as a hospice social worker and offering bereavement support. Over four decades she has used a range of tools drawn from body-focused and experiential work, energy-based techniques, and spiritually oriented practices when clients express that interest. She mentions somatic approaches, visualization, Emotional Freedom Technique, inner child work, and elements from Reiki and A Course in Miracles as parts of her toolbox.

In sessions she emphasizes steadiness and a respectful presence. She describes therapy as a place where people can slowly unwind defenses that no longer serve them. That process can help reduce persistent anger, manage addictive patterns, or clarify career and life-purpose questions.

She also works with issues such as compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, cancer-related concerns, aging and geriatric matters, codependency, divorce and separation, and end-of-life and hospice related distress. People looking to address resentment, communication problems, jealousy, or midlife questions may find these topics included in her practice.

Helen offers work framed around practical coping skills and reflective exploration. She encourages collaboration about goals and methods and invites people to bring their own beliefs and spiritual interests into sessions if they wish.

How sessions work

Approach to therapeutic methods and online work

Helen integrates somatic and experiential techniques with energy-based and spiritually informed practices. Somatic work focuses on how stress and anger show up in the body, using gentle awareness and movement to ease physical tension. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is an energy-based method she lists that some people use to reduce acute emotional intensity through tapping and focused attention. She also uses visualization and inner child work to help people access memories and emotions and to practice new responses to old patterns.

She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Together with the client she considers goals, comfort with particular methods, and how each technique feels in practice. That shared testing helps decide what to emphasize in ongoing sessions rather than locking into one method from the start.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try body-focused or visualization practices from a familiar setting while talking through emotions with a licensed professional.
