About Denise
Denise Warnack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She brings three years of recent counseling experience and a background working with substance abuse and mental health clients in community settings. Denise offers telehealth options and focuses on helping people manage anxiety and other life stresses.
She uses straightforward conversation to help clients find practical steps forward. Sessions are aimed at motivation and planning rather than long lectures.
Background and approach
Denise listens first, then helps people set manageable goals they can work on between sessions. Clients who come for help with trauma, addictions, or mood concerns will find approaches that support coping and recovery. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are affecting day-to-day life. Denise also supports people dealing with relationship strain, career stress, grief, and compassion fatigue. She works with concerns ranging from ADHD and bipolar symptoms to sexual assault and seasonal mood shifts.
Her style is direct and practical, aimed at helping clients take the next step. Telehealth formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. That variety makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their timing.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. The therapist offers empathy and accepts the person's experience while helping them find their own solutions; this approach helps when someone wants supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It uses clear tools and homework to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress, and can be applied to day-to-day problems discussed in sessions.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of past traumatic events and on skills to reduce their hold on current life. It combines careful discussion of past events with practical strategies to manage triggers and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone can be a simpler option if bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep appointments during busy schedules and to continue care from different locations.
