She has more than 25 years of experience supporting people facing depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship strain. Her manner is warm and interactive and she aims to treat people with respect and compassion.
Denise keeps conversations practical and focused. She listens to immediate concerns and helps set small, reachable goals. Sessions often include skills for coping with strong emotions, building routines for better sleep and eating, and strategies for handling work and parenting pressures.
Background and approach
Her work draws from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance and commitment ideas to change unhelpful patterns. She also uses dialectical behavior skills, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques to clarify values and build motivation. Denise adapts methods to each person rather than following a single script.
People who contact her can expect a collaborative style. She offers straightforward feedback and helps plan steps between sessions. That approach can be useful when someone is managing grief, dealing with guilt or shame, or recovering from past abuse.
Denise is licensed in Georgia as an LCSW and holds the CSW credential. She conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients. Practical concerns such as scheduling, formats, and costs are discussed when someone begins the matching process.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Denise uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that ease anxiety and depression. CBT often focuses on practical exercises and homework to change patterns that cause distress.She also works with acceptance and commitment therapy which encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take values-based steps even when uncomfortable feelings remain. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when emotions run high.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That teamwork guides what is practiced in sessions and between appointments.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make attending easier. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can suit quick check-ins or shorter workday breaks. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy schedules.
