About Denise
She listens for each person's story and looks for individual strengths to build on. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Denise keeps the pace practical and grounded so people can notice changes between meetings as well as during them.
Her approach mixes client-centered care with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. She also uses somatic techniques and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to address trauma responses when appropriate. Denise describes therapy as a team effort where the client's goals guide the work.
Denise will include her Christian perspective when clients request it, and will not bring it up otherwise. She emphasizes mutual respect and clear goals at the start of counseling so sessions stay useful and focused.
People who want to begin are invited to take a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. She practices in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English.
Approaches that guide online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening to the person and following their lead. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to tell their story and identify what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage moods, and change unhelpful behavior over time.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with stuck traumatic memories and the physical reactions they cause. It is used to help process past events that continue to affect daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help choose methods based on the client's goals, symptoms, and comfort. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy routines. It can reduce commute time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to arrange appointments around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and the therapist will adapt techniques so they work well in an online setting.
