About Dnaydavina
Dnaydavina James is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 22 years of experience. She works with people facing addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use right away to feel steadier and clearer about their choices.
She helps people who struggle with people-pleasing and leaning too far into others' needs, often described as codependency. She also supports those dealing with family of origin issues, communication problems, infidelity, and relationship control struggles. Drug and alcohol addiction, caregiver stress, and blended family concerns are part of her caseload as well.
Dnaydavina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to guide her work. In practice she breaks down patterns, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and practices small changes that feel doable. Sessions include both skill-building and moments to reflect on what really matters to the client.
Her style is collaborative and direct. She helps clients set clear boundaries, practice saying no, and rebuild a sense of self outside of others' demands. She also offers concrete tools for managing anger, cravings, and low mood.
Dnaydavina sees people in Oklahoma and accepts international clients. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service's online flow.
How sessions work
How Dnaydavina applies evidence-informed approaches online
Dnaydavina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small parts so clients can practice changing one piece at a time, which is useful for mood, anxiety, and patterns that feed codependency.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach steadying attention to the present moment. Mindfulness skills can reduce reactivity and help people notice urges or emotions before acting on them. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients feel stuck or uncertain; it helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds motivation in small steps.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since formats are not detailed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments, schedule shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time so clients can use time for brief sessions around work or caregiving obligations.
