More about Davalene

  • 24 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am licensed in Missouri with 24 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, anger management, motivation, self esteem, confidence and a variety of mental health conditions. I work with both adults and adolescents and I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment or loss of confidentiality. The only time that confidentiality will be broken is if you are becoming a danger to yourself or others. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Davalene is amazing. While working with her for several months I was able to understand myself and my emotions so much better. She listens and asks the questions to really get to the core of your emotions and I feel better than I have in years after talking through some of my past with her. She’s easy to open up to and I really struggle with that sometimes. She has given me the tools and knowledge for me to continue to grow as a person. Thank you Davy.

She is A M A Z I N G ! If you're looking for a therapist to be straight up with you, she's the one! She is so understanding and worked well with me even though I'm a young adult. She takes all the steps to make sure that you're comfortable. She will make you cry, laugh, maybe even offend you a little at times, but only out of the goodness of her heart with the goal to help you get better! She is such a sweet woman and I was lucky to get assigned to her.
