Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Denise commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered approaches to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with their values - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and avoidance patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it is often used for sleep problems, anxiety, and mood concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so the client guides the pace and focus of treatment - this approach supports self-exploration and personal growth.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Denise works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses to better meet each person where they are.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts can happen through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule work in around evenings, weekends, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support without requiring in-person travel.
