Background and approach

Denise also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential ideas when those fit a person's needs. With 20 years in mental health, Denise has helped people across many care settings. Her background includes a Doctor of Psychology, a master’s in community counseling, and a long history working with mood, trauma, and life-change issues.

This experience guides clear, down-to-earth steps rather than jargon or complex theory. People come to her for many concerns: grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, career questions, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue, among others. Denise offers practical tools alongside space to talk through difficult emotions and decisions.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to what each person needs. She explains options, checks in about what’s helping, and adjusts approaches over time. The goal is to support steady progress toward the goals a person cares about most.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small committed actions toward those values. It helps people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by teaching gentle acceptance and practical behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathic listening to help someone make their own decisions and find inner resources.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins to see what helps and what to adjust.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstration of skills. Phone sessions are good when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy days or to keep a running log of insights and tasks. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and other demands.
