01About Denise
Denise Black Winston is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses warm, practical care to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and life transitions. She focuses on real problems and simple steps people can take right away to feel steadier and more capable. She draws on nine years of counseling practice plus decades of earlier work in child welfare across several states.
That background gave her a clear sense of how family dynamics, caregiving demands, and adoption or foster care histories can shape present struggles.
Background and approach
She brings that experience into sessions without judgment. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Denise listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients try small changes between meetings.
She uses approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused strategies to make therapy practical and relevant to daily life. Denise often helps people facing caregiver stress, codependency, social anxiety, or problems tied to addiction and recovery. She also supports those dealing with HIV/AIDS related concerns, isolation, and young adult issues.
Her style is steady and encouraging, aiming to build self-love and confidence over time. Based in Georgia, she offers counseling that balances empathy with concrete tools. New clients typically fill out a short questionnaire and schedule sessions that match their needs and routines.

04Online support
Practical therapy methods adapted for online care
Denise uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people feel heard so they can name what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and helps people try small, testable changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits.She also draws on solution-focused therapy to set clear, short-term goals and identify steps that produce quick improvements. Therapy is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which methods to try and adjust based on what feels most helpful and realistic for the person's life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls work well for more in-depth conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or support between longer appointments. These options help people fit counseling into busy routines and make follow-up and progress more manageable.
