Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take committed action toward a more meaningful life - it is often used for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections, making it useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and is frequently applied to anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Denise collaborates with each person to identify methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration allows adjustments over time so therapy remains responsive and relevant.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, fit therapy into busy lives, and maintain momentum between appointments while working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor their support to each individual.
