How Denise uses approaches in online sessions
Denise works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills people can use between sessions.She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how past relationships and early patterns influence current feelings and interactions. This approach can help when people want to understand recurring relationship or attachment issues more deeply.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Denise discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods as needed. She aims to choose strategies that match what the client wants to work on, whether that is short-term problem solving or more exploratory work.
