How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions toward them. It helps people who feel stuck after trauma or major life changes to reconnect with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches concrete skills to reduce distress and improve mood. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and problem-solving around everyday challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead to build confidence and insight.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean combining ACT and CBT tools with a client-centered way of listening and reflecting to make progress feel manageable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to allow flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit brief check-ins or busy schedules. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or other daily demands while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
