About Davina

Davina Luna brings eight years of clinical experience to her Kansas practice, helping people work through trauma, grief, mood concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She is licensed as UT Psychologist 13005311-2501 and KS Psychologist LP 03440 and uses evidence-informed methods to support clients confronting anxiety, panic, bipolar and depressive symptoms, and challenges related to self-esteem and intimacy.

Her work blends practical skill-building with empathic listening, guiding clients as they develop communication tools, manage stress, and address issues like chronic pain, caregiver strain, and feelings of isolation. Davina incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment and client-centered principles to help clients explore values, shift unhelpful patterns, and build resilience.

Clients can expect a collaborative tone in which goals and strategies are shaped together, whether the focus is on processing trauma, improving sleep and daily functioning, or finding direction after life changes. Her practice also addresses concerns such as parenting stress, anger, financial worries, and post-traumatic stress while emphasizing individualized, respectful care.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and practical change

Davina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and mood concerns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-driven action and increase psychological flexibility when facing painful feelings or life transitions. Additionally, client-centered techniques create space for empathetic listening and reflectively building goals that feel right for each person.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts strategies over time so treatment stays aligned with what matters most to the client.

Online sessions are offered in several formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - to provide flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during transitions, manage therapy around work and family commitments, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
