About Denise

Denise Flack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people better understand their feelings and reactions so they can choose tools that actually work for them. Denise aims for practical change rather than quick fixes, and she keeps a warm but direct style in sessions.

Her approach begins with helping clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. She asks clear questions and offers concrete strategies to shift thinking and behavior. Many clients find that seeing situations from a new angle helps emotions change more quickly than expected.

Denise works with common problems such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with life changes, parenting stress, ADHD, body image, and trauma and abuse. Her list of focus areas includes a wide range of relational and personality concerns, and she tailors conversations to each person's needs.

Sessions move at a pace the client chooses. Denise combines talking, practical exercises, and reflection to bring hidden beliefs into view. When deeper patterns become clear, people can begin to practice different responses outside therapy.

She communicates in English and Portuguese and uses approaches that include attachment-focused work, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical skills, and emotionally-focused methods. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional patterns. It helps when trust, closeness, or repeating relationship problems are getting in the way of feeling settled. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers specific exercises to change unhelpful thinking and habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and shifting emotional responses in relationships and can help people who want clearer emotional expression and stronger bonds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then collaborate on which methods to try. You and the therapist will adjust the plan together over time based on what helps you make changes and feel more effective day to day.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings during work breaks or from different locations. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that's needed, or for a session without video if that works better for you. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions can fit your routine.
