About Dnaydavina
Dnaydavina James is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Oklahoma who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a central part of her work. With 22 years of clinical experience, she helps people confront addictions, depression, anger, and self-esteem struggles while guiding them through major life changes.
Background and approach
Her practice emphasizes practical skills and insight to foster healthier thinking patterns, improved emotional regulation, and more effective coping strategies. She brings a compassionate, collaborative stance to sessions, blending CBT with mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to meet clients where they are.
Her experience includes supporting recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, addressing relationship and family-of-origin difficulties, and working through issues like codependency, infidelity, and communication problems. Dnaydavina tailors interventions to individual needs, helping clients strengthen personal boundaries, manage impulsivity, and rebuild confidence.
Clients can expect a professional who values an affirming, nonreligious therapeutic environment and who focuses on concrete progress alongside self-exploration. Dnaydavina combines evidence-informed strategies with attention to each person’s goals, aiming to promote resilience, clearer decision-making, and sustainable change over time.
Practical approaches for online change and growth
Dnaydavina integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into her online work to help clients address thinking patterns and develop present-moment awareness. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, and problematic coping, while mindfulness practices teach awareness and self-regulation skills that can lessen reactivity and improve emotional balance.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change, using respectful inquiry and goal-focused conversations to strengthen commitment and motivation. The therapist treats selecting an approach as a collaborative process, working with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, readiness, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path upfront.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to engage in therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and access therapeutic tools from different locations, while allowing clients and licensed professionals to find a rhythm and format that supports consistent progress.
