About Davina

Davina Luna is a licensed psychologist practicing in Kansas. She brings eight years of experience to work with people facing trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and stress. Davina uses clear, practical language to help clients name problems and try workable steps.

She focuses on building skills for self-worth, emotion management, and clearer communication. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused work. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Davina also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take steps that matter to them. Parents and caregivers will find practical strategies for sleep, anger, and day-to-day stress. She offers tools for coping with caregiver strain, chronic illness, and difficult life transitions.

Davina pays attention to how emotional pain shows up in relationships and daily routines. She mixes supportive listening with hands-on skills work. That means learning concrete ways to reduce panic, shift negative thinking, and practice communication.

Motivational interviewing is used when people want help setting and reaching personal goals. Davina is licensed in Kansas (KS Psychologist LP 03440) and Utah (UT Psychologist 13005311-2501). She delivers care in English and provides sessions through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

The practice emphasizes collaboration and steady progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and everyday life

Davina commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process difficult memories and build coping skills for triggers and emotional overwhelm.

She also integrates acceptance and commitment ideas when helpful, encouraging clients to clarify values and take meaningful steps even when feelings are hard. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. These options let people check in between sessions, use shorter supportive contacts when needed, and keep continuity when life is unpredictable. The aim is to make regular work on goals practical and doable from wherever the client is located.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
