How Denise Applies Therapy Approaches Online
Denise commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises, homework tasks, and step-by-step strategies for anxiety, sleep issues, and low mood.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, reachable goals and track progress over time. That approach works well when someone wants quick, concrete changes in daily routines or relationships. Narrative Therapy is used to help people reframe difficult events and separate their identity from painful experiences, which can ease feelings of guilt, shame, or isolation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaboration. Denise will discuss goals, preferences, and how each method might help. Together she and the client adjust methods as progress is made and needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging can fit into busy schedules or provide ongoing prompts and reflections between meetings.
