Denise O Connor, LPCC

Denise O Connor is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with seven years of clinical experience. She offers straightforward, goal-focused care that centers on the person seeking help and on practical steps that make a difference. She aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, trauma, and substance concerns among other issues.

Denise trained at Lindsay Wilson College in Kentucky and has worked in community mental health and at the Veterans Health Administration. That background exposed her to a wide range of challenges, including mood disorders, personality concerns, grief, and addictions. She combines that experience with a person-centered outlook to keep sessions grounded in what matters to each client.

Her style blends evidence-based options such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and dialectical tools. She often sets clear goals and tracks progress across a limited number of sessions. For sleep concerns she uses CBT approaches tailored to insomnia, and for emotion regulation she draws on DBT skills.

Denise aims to make therapy practical. Sessions focus on skills people can try between meetings, clearer values, and steps to handle difficult feelings. She is comfortable addressing ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to identity or life transitions.

She offers evening and weekend live appointments and generally responds to messages within 12 hours. To begin, readers are encouraged to complete the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule according to the posted options.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Denise commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and routines, and it is often used to address insomnia and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person’s goals and daily life. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting treatment based on progress and preference.

Please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow evening and weekend timing, and let people work on skills from their usual routines. Some formats can be shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that better fits a day. The focus is on practical techniques you can use between meetings, frequent progress checks, and scheduling that fits everyday life.
