Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking steps that align with your values; it can help when life changes make choices feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past connections shape current reactions and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Denise works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion happens early and can change as people try different strategies together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full session would be harder to schedule. It can also make it simpler to continue care during life transitions or while managing work and caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and tools so they translate well to remote sessions and day-to-day life.
