How Denise Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Denise draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand relationship patterns and build safer emotional connections. This approach looks at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness, and it can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family-of-origin patterns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s own goals and experience. In practice this means sessions focus on what matters most to the client and move at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Denise will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made.
