Background and approach
Denise draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify patterns, solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals, and motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change. Narrative ideas help people reframe difficult life stories.
She has worked with adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, divorce and separation, and family of origin problems. Other focus areas include forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, and finding life purpose. People can expect collaborative sessions that focus on skills, problem solving, and pacing that fits their life.
Denise aims to help clients move toward clearer choices and steadier day-to-day coping. She is licensed in Indiana as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW.
How Denise’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on putting the person’s perspective first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify their own goals and values. This approach is useful for building trust and clarifying what matters most in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence one another. Denise helps clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, or sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Denise will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers voice only. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or continued work between longer sessions.
