Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care
Denise draws on several well-established therapeutic approaches to guide online work, beginning with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT helps people clarify their values and take committed action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings - it is often useful for managing anxiety, chronic stress, and life transitions.She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship and supports clients in exploring their own goals and insights. This approach helps people build self-awareness, confidence, and agency in making changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common component of her practice and focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is effective for conditions such as depression, panic, and mood disorders and provides practical skills for day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Denise works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and relevant.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and access support from licensed professionals and therapists without disrupting daily responsibilities.
