About Naja
Naja Druva is a licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in New Mexico. She brings nine years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and parenting challenges. Naja values a warm, human connection and often uses lightness and humor alongside practical skills.
Naja aims for straightforward sessions where clients learn tools they can use outside of therapy. She uses approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy and trauma-focused methods, together with client-centered and attachment-based ideas.
Background and approach
That combination helps when people are coping with life changes, relationship struggles, or challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. Her background includes working with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, compassion fatigue, anger, and the fallout from family-of-origin problems. She also addresses topics like adoption and foster care, blended family issues, fertility stress, and grief tied to loss or separation.
Naja pays attention to how past attachments shape present choices and emotions. Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. Clients can expect skills practice, emotion regulation strategies, and opportunities to talk through painful experiences.
The therapist balances empathy with clear techniques for managing distress. Naja offers services in English and accepts international clients for online work. She combines evidence-informed methods with a friendly, down-to-earth style to help people move toward clearer coping and calmer daily life.

Approach-driven online therapy for practical change
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behavior. Naja uses it to help people understand patterns that affect parenting, intimacy, and relationship choices and to build more supported ways of relating.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, ADHD-related overwhelm, and situations where emotional regulation feels difficult.
Naja sees finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. Together they check what helps and adjust plans as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or a camera-free conversation is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, and follow-up between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to use therapy tools in real time.
