About Denise
Denise Kidd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with more than two decades of experience. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and life transitions. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people regain balance and move forward.
Denise draws on evidence-informed methods to guide short-term problem solving and longer-term change. Sessions are interactive and focused on what helps most in daily life.
Background and approach
She emphasizes respect for cultural differences and listens for each person's unique story. Her background includes work in community health centers, substance use treatment settings, employee assistance programs, and hospital mental health services. That range gives her experience with varied treatment settings and real-world recovery supports.
She brings that perspective into conversations about coping and next steps. In the room she blends structured tools with supportive listening. She uses exercises to change unhelpful thinking, skills to manage intense emotions, and strategies to increase motivation for recovery.
Clients set goals and Denise helps translate them into concrete steps. People who find her helpful are often looking for clear strategies, steady support, and practical ways to handle life’s pressures. She frames therapy as a teamwork process, where the client’s priorities guide the work.
Denise aims to empower people to use their strengths and to make changes that last.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Denise often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps people process traumatic memories so they feel less intense and disruptive in daily life.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and commit to small actions that match what matters most. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and effective for the person.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed during a work break. Live chat and text messaging work for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when written reflection helps people process between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
