Denise O Connor is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky (KY LPCC 175002) with more than 7 years of clinical experience. She earned a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Lindsay Wilson College in Kentucky.
Her professional background includes roles at a Community Mental Health Center and with the Veterans Health Administration. Denise favors a person-centered approach that places the client’s goals at the center of care while drawing on evidence-based interventions.
She provides treatment for a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem challenges, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also lists experience supporting LGBT clients and older adults. Denise is a female therapist who identifies as gay, and she notes being non-religious and liberal.
Her clinical style is eclectic when appropriate, with a preference for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Solution-Focused Therapy for depression and anxiety, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia to address sleep problems, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help with emotional regulation. She emphasizes focused, goal-oriented work to help measure progress and often structures therapy with a limited number of sessions.
Denise offers live sessions in the evenings and is available all day on Saturday and Sunday. She will respond to messages within 12 hours, and often sooner. She practices in Kentucky and welcomes those seeking an approachable, evidence-informed clinician.
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or adjusting to life changes - online therapy has been shown to work as effectively as in-person care. It is a viable option for people seeking support for these issues.
One major benefit is flexibility - you can choose the format that fits your life and comfort level, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to keep appointments and maintain momentum in therapy.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and if you decide you would like a different therapeutic match, you can switch therapists at any time. Online therapy can make it simpler to access consistent, evidence-based care while fitting treatment into a busy schedule.
