Tavina Hensley, LPCC

Tavina Hensley is a licensed professional clinical counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She offers straightforward support for self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. Her first goal is to make beginning therapy feel manageable for someone who may be worried or unsure.

She listens with respect and sensitivity and adapts conversations to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Tavina aims to build skills that reduce overwhelming moments and increase calm over time.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what the person wants to work on. Dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness tools appear when someone needs skills for emotional regulation or distress tolerance.

Tavina brings five years of clinical experience and holds the LPCC credential, licensed in Kentucky. That background supports a steady, respectful style rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She will work collaboratively to shape a therapy path that fits the person’s pace and goals.

People who choose her often want clear tools for everyday life - ways to manage anxiety, break unhelpful patterns, or recover after losses. Conversations tend to be practical and rooted in the issues people bring to each session.

How Tavina’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy starts by following the person’s lead and focusing on what matters most to them. This approach helps shape goals around the problems someone brings and keeps sessions grounded in their priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small experiments or new behaviors between meetings to test different ways of coping.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, contributes skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. When people need tools for distress tolerance or better emotion regulation, brief DBT-style exercises and coaching can be woven into regular online sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option on the go. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, brief skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options support regular contact and flexible scheduling for people balancing work, family, or travel.
