How Denise works
Her work often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. That means she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, set small goals, and reframe difficult stories about themselves. The pace and tools are shaped around what each person needs.
Denise has supported people through life changes, career transitions, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, and recovery from abuse and trauma. She also addresses issues like codependency, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, and compassion fatigue. Sessions can include practical skill-building, goal setting, and moments to review what’s working.
She aims to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and better day-to-day coping. To begin, a brief matching process connects a person to scheduling options based on availability.

Online support options
Practical approaches adapted for online care
Denise commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck, and it can be useful for depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and impulsivity. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, realistic goals and the steps that lead to change, which is helpful when someone wants quick, practical progress.She also brings Motivational Interviewing into conversations when people feel unsure about change. That approach helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds motivation without pressure. Denise will work with each person to decide which approach or combination fits their goals and preferences, so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break during the day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, homework, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and support steady progress over time.
