About Denis
Denis Kitchen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship strain. He works directly with concerns like anger, grief, sleep problems, addiction, and self-esteem. Denis offers straightforward, honest sessions where tough topics are addressed head-on.
His work focuses on building resilience through sustained effort and practical steps. Denis uses a mix of evidence-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions are plainspoken and goal-oriented, with room for hard truths and real change. Denis draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while taking action that matters to them. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift thinking that worsens anxiety or mood.
Client-centered techniques shape sessions around each person's values and priorities. He has three years of clinical experience as an LMHC and supports concerns across a wide range, including family of origin issues, parenting strain, commitment and communication problems, and identity-related stressors such as LGBT and immigration concerns. Denis also works with people facing end-of-life, hospice, and HIV/AIDS related challenges.
Therapy with Denis typically involves clear goals, practical exercises, and honest conversation about setbacks. He invites clients to bring every question and every doubt into the room so progress can start from an honest place.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and uncertainty about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, insomnia, or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and reflecting what matters to the person so goals emerge from their own priorities.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how different methods feel in practice. Together they decide what to try first and adjust as progress unfolds, mixing techniques when that helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can fit a short break from work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or a written way to process feelings. These options make it easier to sustain therapy across busy schedules and changing circumstances.
