About Denise
Dr. Denise Finney is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 35 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She listens carefully and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. She earned a Doctorate in Counseling Studies and practices in Georgia. Over three and a half decades she has worked in individual and group settings.
That background shapes a straightforward style that centers on clear skills and small changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Her main clinical lens is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to zero in on immediate goals and what works now. These approaches are mixed to match each person’s needs rather than following a single formula.
In sessions she emphasizes listening first, then practical strategies people can test between meetings. She supports exploration of multicultural concerns, experiences of prejudice and discrimination, and building self-love. Sessions aim to leave people feeling more capable of handling daily stressors.
Her practice offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging formats for flexible scheduling. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.
Approaches and online options that fit your life
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, actions, and feelings. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on goals and what is already working, helping people build step-by-step plans to move toward those goals.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, preferences, and goals, then suggest a mix of CBT and solution-focused work when appropriate. You and the therapist decide together what to try and adjust the plan as you go.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in quickly or share thoughts between scheduled meetings. These options help people fit skill practice and support into a busy life while working toward clear, practical goals.
