About Naja
Naja Druva is an LPCC licensed in New Mexico with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a range of trauma-related issues. She also supports people navigating parenting, LGBT issues, ADHD, and complicated life changes.
Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She uses skills-based work and evidence-informed approaches to help people manage strong emotions and reduce overwhelm. Humor appears in sessions at times, and she notes that a bit of levity can help people relax and think differently about problems.
In practice she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses client-centered conversation to follow the person's pace and priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-focused methods provide concrete tools for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and processing hard memories.
People who come for anger-related concerns often focus on responding differently in close relationships or at work. Naja helps people notice patterns that make anger escalate and practices alternative responses that feel manageable. Sessions include skill practice, reflection, and planning for real situations outside session.
She accepts English-speaking international clients and works from New Mexico. The approach is collaborative: goals and methods are chosen together so the work fits daily life and real-world demands.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present reactions. Online sessions can use conversation and exercises to map those patterns and practice different responses in everyday situations. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and pace; remotely this means sessions follow what the client brings and build skills in ways that fit their routine. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, as used in her practice, offers concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be taught and practiced across sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She treats approach selection as collaborative. Together they review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most for anger, trauma, or stress-related concerns.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Online sessions also make it possible to practice skills in the contexts where problems occur, such as at work or at home, and then talk through what happened with a licensed professional.
