Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding each person’s perspective. In this approach the therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and reflection to help people clarify values, build self-awareness, and strengthen relationships. It is especially helpful for those working on self-esteem, relationship concerns, or major life decisions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and then testing and changing them. CBT offers practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and similar challenges by teaching strategies to reframe thinking and develop healthier coping skills.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals. It helps clients quickly identify what is working, set achievable targets, and apply concrete strategies to improve daily functioning and handle transitions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Denise works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure a constructive match between approach and situation.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused care, practical tools, and ongoing support while helping clients build changeable skills that translate into everyday life.
