Evidence-Informed Tools, Delivered Online
Denise Marie integrates practical, skills-based approaches with a warm, person-centered style to support change over time.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits, then practicing new ways of responding. It is often useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges with motivation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, which can be especially helpful when emotions feel intense or relationships feel hard to navigate. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends mindfulness with values-based action, helping clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters most in their lives.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Denise Marie collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not worked before, and choose strategies that fit each person’s needs, pace, and preferences. The plan can shift over time as clients learn more about themselves and what supports progress.
Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent with support. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can use live chat or text-based messaging when that format feels more accessible. This flexibility can help therapy fit into real life, especially during busy seasons or major transitions.
