About Davalene

Davalene Wilbanks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 24 years of professional experience. She has worked extensively with people facing stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, anger management, motivation challenges, self-esteem and confidence concerns, and a variety of other mental health conditions. Her background includes work with both adults and adolescents, guiding them through practical strategies and emotional support to improve daily functioning and overall wellbeing.

Wilbanks emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely. She partners with clients to explore goals and develop coping tools, while honoring the professional standards that govern counseling. The only time that personal nature of sessions will be broken is if a client becomes a danger to themselves or others. Recognizing that seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, she offers steady support and collaborative guidance throughout the therapeutic process.

Evidence-Based Therapies for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used to address conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with motivation by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. It can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, anger, and relationship challenges by providing concrete tools to cope with distress and improve communication.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear goals and building on existing strengths to create change. This approach helps clients identify realistic steps toward specific outcomes and can be useful for short-term concerns like stress management, problem-solving, and goal planning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Davalene Wilbanks works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods best fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, accommodate mobility or geographic constraints, and maintain continuity of support from licensed professionals and therapists.
