Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Denise commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.She also brings Solution-Focused Therapy into remote work by helping clients set clear, short-term goals and track small wins between sessions. Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Denise works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to get support between longer sessions and to use brief check-ins for tracking goals. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with remote care.
