About Denise
Dr. Denise Finney welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or life changes. She writes plainly and listens carefully.
Her approach aims to help people find practical steps they can try between sessions and feel more in control again. She has 35 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and practices in Georgia. Over her career she has worked in both individual and group counseling settings.
How Denise works
She focuses on common concerns like depression, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and attention challenges related to ADHD. Her main approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people link thoughts, feelings, and actions to make concrete changes. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify goals and small, achievable steps toward them.
These methods are adapted to each person's situation rather than applied the same way to everyone. She pays attention to multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and building self-love. In sessions she emphasizes listening and practical strategies people can use in daily life.
Her style tends to be direct and supportive, aiming to leave clients with clear tools to try between appointments. Dr. Finney offers appointments in a range of online formats so people can choose what fits their routine.
She asks newcomers to complete a short matching questionnaire so sessions can begin in a way that matches their needs and schedule.

How her approaches work online
Dr. Finney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and change the behaviors that follow. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people set clear goals and identify immediate steps they can take to move forward.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts plans as progress is made. The aim is to build a short list of useful tools that feel doable between sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person sessions, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports quick reflections or ongoing reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and try techniques in the real-world settings where challenges occur.
