Helen Davis, LCSW, CSW

Helen Davis has practiced psychotherapy since 1979 and is licensed in Colorado as a clinical social worker. She holds the credentials LCSW and CSW and earned a Master of Social Work degree from New York University after growing up in and around New York City. Her interest in psychotherapy grew from her own experience as a client, and that personal path informs a compassionate, patient-centered approach to helping others.

Across decades of work she has blended an array of techniques into her practice, including Usu/Holy Fire Reiki III, somatic experiencing, guided visualization, compassion-based therapy, inner child work, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and for those interested in spiritual study, A Course in Miracles. She has extensive experience as a hospice social worker and continues to offer bereavement services to those facing loss.

Throughout her work she emphasizes the importance of a calm, steady presence where clients can feel safe and respected. She recognizes the courage it takes to heal the heart, body, mind, and spirit, and she values the transformative openings that come from compassionately undoing unhelpful conditioning and defenses. Her aim is to help people feel more empowered, find greater inner peace, grow through challenges, and express their unique strengths.

Somatic and Compassion-Focused Care Delivered Online

Helen Davis integrates somatic experiencing and compassion-based therapy into her online practice. Somatic experiencing helps people notice stored bodily sensations related to stress or trauma and gently release them through attention to physical experience - an approach often used for trauma, anxiety, and chronic stress. Compassion-based therapy emphasizes developing a kinder, more understanding inner voice and practical strategies to reduce self-criticism and shame, which can support recovery from depression, grief, and burnout.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Helen works with each person to explore what methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so therapy remains responsive and client-centered.

Online sessions offer flexibility and greater access to licensed professionals and therapists by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or mobility limitations, and they allow people to receive consistent support even when travel or distance would otherwise be a barrier.
