Tavina Hensley

Tavina Hensley is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky with five years of practice. She works with people who are feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, low self-esteem, addictions, grief, and life changes. She also focuses on issues like attachment and abandonment, body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose.

Her style centers on direct conversation. She listens, reflects, and helps people name what feels off. Sessions can include practical skills, thought work, and discussions about motivation and habits. The aim is to make difficult feelings easier to manage day to day.

Tavina uses a mix of approaches depending on the situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT offers clear skills for managing strong emotions and impulsivity. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to help with focus and readiness for change.

She treats concerns such as OCD symptoms, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, workplace stress, isolation, and struggles with forgiveness or self-love. Conversations often move between practical problem-solving and exploring patterns from the past that influence current choices.

If someone is unsure what to try first, she works collaboratively to set short-term goals and check progress. People who choose to work with her complete a brief intake and then schedule their first appointment through the platform.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In practice this means decisions about pace and topics are shared, and the therapist follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT is practical and goal oriented. It involves spotting patterns in thoughts and actions, trying small experiments, and tracking results to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process may shift between skills practice, short behavioral experiments, and reflective conversation until a useful mix is found.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy around work, appointments, or family duties. Others prefer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions focused on skills practice that don’t require long blocks of time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for video or phone when those formats are offered, and the therapist will help choose what fits the client’s routine and needs.
