I had Denise as a counselor for a few months and stopped sessions due to my schedule and we had worked through most of my issues. I loved working with her. More life events happened that I struggled with and I immediately signed back up for sessions with Denise because she has been so supportive and helpful for me.

Hi, I am Denise, a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas for over 27 years and still enjoying it. Over the years, I have gained valuable experience working with a wide range of issues including depression, bipolar, anxiety, grief/loss, addiction/recovery and life changes. I have had the opportunity to work in many different levels of care including, outpatient, crisis intervention, intensive outpatient, partial hospital, hospital, and residential care.
My counseling style is respectful and interactive. My integrated approach includes theory and techniques from client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral and mindfulness. By combining techniques from various approaches, I can develop a plan of treatment to fit your specific needs more effectively.
I appreciate the courage it takes to seek help and strive to work with each client to overcome their challenges, understanding that reaching out for help is the first step on the journey to feeling better. I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I had Denise as a counselor for a few months and stopped sessions due to my schedule and we had worked through most of my issues. I loved working with her. More life events happened that I struggled with and I immediately signed back up for sessions with Denise because she has been so supportive and helpful for me.
She really cares, continuously checks on me.
Denise is a friendly, patient and understanding counselor. She’s able to identify problem areas and come up with solutions to address them. I highly recommend her.
Denise is extremely kind, understanding and conversations with her feel genuine. I really enjoy my sessions with her and she makes the incredibly tough topics easier to get through with sympathetic listening and feedback. I've worked through a lot in the past 2 or 3 months having weekly sessions with her. I highly recommend her.
Denise helped me through the toughest moment of my life. I’m a person that hasn’t experienced so many inconveniences in life and in a span of 4 months, experienced it all. I went through loss of family members, a loss of a pet, a car accident, personal hardship and feeling extremely anxious and overwhelmed. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. She is an amazing listener and I really appreciate her. She helped me navigate my feelings and help me understand why I was feeling the way I did. I never felt judged! I have tried video and phone call meeting with her and both felt comfortable.
Denise was great! I appreciate her listening ear. She gave me worksheets to do that really seem to help my issue as well. Things are going to be okay.
