About Denise
Dr. Denise Tran -Miles uses an approach that centers on practical, values-based work to help people cope and move forward. She combines talk therapy with structured techniques so clients leave sessions with clear steps they can try between meetings.
Denise is an LPC and brings two decades of experience in mental health care to her practice in Colorado. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. She also supports those facing identity questions, intimacy concerns, eating and body-image issues, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her work covers both short-term coping skills and longer-term goals related to self-esteem and life transitions. Her background includes training in cognitive and behavioral methods alongside acceptance and existential approaches. Sessions often include practical exercises, grounding skills, and conversations about values and choices.
The pace is set by the person in therapy, and Denise aims to offer clear tools that fit each person's life. Over twenty years, Denise has worked across many settings and clinical levels. That experience shaped a flexible style that balances empathy with straightforward strategies.
She values curiosity, respect for difference, and collaboration in deciding treatment steps. People looking for remote options can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and pricing varies by location and therapist availability.
How approach and online formats work together
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and between-session practice, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client's own goals so people feel heard while they clarify what matters to them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Sessions may blend techniques so someone gets skills training, values work, and empathic support in a way that suits them.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good when visual connection and body language matter. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging let people write through thoughts, check in between sessions, or fit support around a busy day. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into work, family, or health demands.
