How Motivational Interviewing, ACT, and CBT work online
Denise draws on Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when people are ready to change behavior or manage difficult feelings. Motivational Interviewing focuses on talking through ambivalence and strengthening a person's own motivation for change. It helps when someone is unsure about quitting or cutting back on substances or making other big changes.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical tools to notice thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them and to move toward valued goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may shift over time as needs change.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, fitting sessions into a workday, and keeping momentum between appointments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. The focus is on making therapy fit everyday life and helping clients practice skills where they live and work. -
