Using emotion-focused and skills-based approaches online

Denise often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name important feelings and attachment patterns that affect relationships and emotional life. EFT is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when people want clearer connection with others.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take small, meaningful steps toward them. ACT is helpful for managing anxiety and for building a life that fits what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy is another thread in her work and focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. Denise will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and pace. That collaborative planning helps shape what happens in session and what tools are practiced between meetings.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see body language and build rapport. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief exchanges, journaling, or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while using the approaches described above.
