How her approaches translate to online work

Denise uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people manage feelings and change unhelpful thinking. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can find their own solutions, which is useful for relationship strain, grief, or feeling stuck. Cognitive behavioral work involves identifying thought patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression.

She also draws on mindfulness practices to teach simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce stress and improve sleep. These short practices are easy to try between sessions and can help with chronic pain, coping with illness, or compassion fatigue. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Denise will work with each person to set goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find it practical for maintaining consistent care while juggling work, caregiving, or health-related limitations.
