About Denise
Dr. Denise Finney welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or big life changes. She writes plainly and listens carefully so people can talk through what matters most.
Her early focus is helping someone feel understood and begin to make small, manageable changes. Finney holds a Doctorate Degree in Counseling Studies and is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Georgia. She brings 35 years of experience in individual and group counseling to each session.
Background and approach
That background shapes her steady, practical approach to common concerns like anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts and behaviors interact. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and find immediate steps forward.
Sessions are adapted to fit each person rather than following a single template. Finney pays attention to how culture, prejudice, and discrimination affect daily life and coping. She also supports people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, and the challenges of attention differences such as ADHD.
Her focus includes helping people build self-love and stronger coping habits. Conversations are direct and respectful, with an emphasis on practical tools and gradual progress. Dr.
Finney aims to help people leave sessions with one or two things they can try between meetings. That makes therapy feel more useful from the start.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Finney commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that can reduce worry, lift mood, and improve daily routines.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear short-term goals and identify small steps that lead to quick improvements. That approach helps when someone wants concrete actions to try between sessions and a focus on what already works.
Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will listen to goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest a plan to try. People can adjust that plan over time so therapy fits their pace and priorities.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy days.
