How Denise’s approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. Sessions are led by the client’s concerns and paced to what feels workable, which helps when addressing stress, grief, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and sleep problems because it breaks big issues into small, doable steps.
Motivational interviewing is a short, collaborative way to explore motivation for change. It can help when someone feels stuck about parenting choices, career moves, or behavior changes by clarifying values and next steps.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Denise will talk with clients about goals, try different methods, and adjust over time based on what is helping. That collaboration makes it easier to find a plan that fits daily life.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual tools, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text helps with quick check-ins or brief coaching, and messaging supports steady, ongoing work between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
