Online approaches that focus on skills and results
Denise uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms by giving concrete skills to practice. She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Denise collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts methods as progress is made so the plan fits the client's needs and life circumstances.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face-to-face from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer short, flexible ways to touch base or practice skills between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
