She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, ADHD, and concerns about self-esteem and relationships.

Background and approach
Her work combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. These approaches are woven together to fit what a person brings to the room. The emphasis is on usable tools, clearer thinking, and choices that match personal values.
Denise has spent decades helping people recover from trauma, cope with grief, and manage addictions. She also supports people facing career strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, and the emotional fallout of major life changes. Many clients come for help with anger, guilt, shame, and feelings of isolation.
She practices in Georgia and works in English. Denise accepts international clients for online work. If someone prefers phone, video, live chat, or text messaging, she offers those options to fit different schedules and needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches strategies to break unhelpful cycles. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce intense emotions and improve relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they will pick techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy with Denise can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, flexible ways to share updates and get support between longer sessions. These options help fitting therapy into a busy life and accessing care from different locations.
