About Naja
Naja Druva is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico with nine years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem.
Naja uses approaches drawn from attachment-based work, client-centered practice, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and trauma-focused methods. She focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. Conversations are direct and down-to-earth, often with a bit of humor when appropriate.
Her background includes working across a range of life changes such as divorce and separation, blended family issues, adoption and foster care, and fertility-related challenges. She also supports people managing ADHD, compassion fatigue, and co-occurring difficulties like guilt, shame, or body image concerns.
Naja describes therapy as a place to talk through patterns that keep getting in the way. She uses attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns and DBT tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Trauma-focused work is used when past events continue to affect daily life.
Clients can expect clear, skills-oriented sessions that balance listening with concrete strategies. Naja’s practical approach aims to help people make small changes that reduce stress and improve how they relate to others.
How her approaches translate to online work
Naja uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationship patterns affect current connections. This work focuses on recognizing repeated interaction patterns and trying different responses to reduce conflict and build steadier relationships.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, which offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, handling crises, and improving communication. DBT tools are practical and can be practiced between sessions to support daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods to emphasize based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust plans as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full session is not possible. Some formats may also be better when less bandwidth is available or when a brief focused session is needed, so check current options to see what fits everyday life.
