About Naja

Naja Druva is a licensed professional clinical counselor in New Mexico with nine years of hands-on experience. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and places value on building a human connection. Naja keeps things approachable and often uses humor to help people feel less alone while they work through difficult feelings.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression, and supports those coping with trauma, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Naja also assists clients navigating relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, adoption and foster care issues, attachment wounds, and identity questions related to LGBT experiences. Naja works in a collaborative, client-centered way. Sessions focus on skills people can try between meetings, like emotion regulation tools and mindfulness exercises.

She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Trauma-Focused methods to offer concrete strategies for handling intense emotions and processing painful events. People who prefer a warm, conversational approach may find her style a good fit. She aims to listen without judgment and tailor techniques to each person’s life.

Naja often mixes practical skills training with moments of lightness to make progress feel doable. Her practice offers several online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Naja accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their needs.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Naja commonly integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Trauma-Focused methods into online work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving communication. It is useful for people who struggle with anger, emotional ups and downs, or intense stress. Trauma-Focused therapy helps people process painful events and reduce the ways trauma shows up in daily life, using careful steps to work through memories and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together with the therapist. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try techniques that fit a person’s situation. The plan can change over time as needs shift and progress is noticed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and work through exercises in real time. Phone sessions are a good option when lower bandwidth is needed or when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep steady contact between sessions.
