Evidence-informed approaches, made accessible through online therapy
Denise Venitelli draws from several well-known approaches that help people make sense of what they are feeling and find practical ways forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then building skills to respond differently - often useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with day-to-day pressures.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness. It can be especially helpful when emotions feel intense or when conflict and overwhelm make it hard to stay grounded.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape trust, connection, and self-worth. This lens can support work around family conflict, relationship strain, and the impact of loss or trauma on closeness with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Denise collaborates with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then tailors the work to fit their needs over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to get consistent support with flexible options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of formats can help clients stay connected to therapy even with busy schedules or changing demands.
