About Denise

Sessions focus on identifying what matters to each person and making choices that move them toward those values.
How Denise works
Treatment may include tactics from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, along with client-centered techniques that let the person lead the pace. Denise brings 20 years of experience in mental health settings at multiple levels of care. That background shapes how she balances teaching skills with emotional support.
She also helps with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. She pays attention to practical problems like sleep, eating, body image, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. Sessions can include work on communication, boundaries, and coping with life changes.
The aim is to improve day-to-day functioning and reconnect people with goals that feel meaningful. People who meet with her can expect a collaborative process. She helps set goals, suggests exercises to practice, and revisits what is or isn’t working.
Denise frames therapy as a step-by-step effort to build skills and resilience over time.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small, meaningful actions toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building that translate easily to online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's lead so the work progresses at the person's own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That collaborative process may mix approaches and adjust over time based on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for teaching skills and reviewing homework. Phone sessions work well for people with lower bandwidth or when seeing a screen is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, coaching, or ongoing tracking of progress easier between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, quicker access to support, and different ways to practice coping skills.
