About Tavina
Tavina Hensley is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and issues with self-esteem. She works with individuals struggling with motivation, relationship concerns, grief, and addictive patterns. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, aimed at people who feel unsure about starting therapy.
She uses a mix of practical conversations and reflective listening to meet each person's needs. Sessions are shaped around the client's goals and daily life.
Background and approach
Tavina aims to keep things simple and clear so progress feels achievable. Her approach draws on Narrative Therapy to help clients reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to create a supportive space, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when clients need tools for emotional regulation and stress management. With five years of clinical experience, Tavina adjusts pace and tools to match each person's situation. She pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, and workplace stress.
Clients can expect practical strategies alongside opportunities to reflect on what matters most to them. People interested in starting can expect a conversational first session that focuses on short-term goals and a clear plan for next steps. Tavina aims to make therapy feel like a steady, manageable process rather than an overwhelming task.

Online session options
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Many sessions draw on Narrative Therapy, which helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and find new, more helpful ways to describe their experiences. This approach can be useful for issues like identity, attachment concerns, and patterns that repeat over time.Client-Centered Therapy is also a core part of her work; it focuses on respectful listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and guided rather than judged. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used alongside these methods, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with actions that improve mood and functioning.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to test methods, adjust strategies, and prioritize goals based on what feels useful. It is common to combine elements from different approaches to match the client's needs and pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow shorter focused check-ins, and accommodate preferences about being on camera.
