About Denise
Denise Kidd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and major life changes. Denise presents herself as warm and interactive and aims to create a respectful space for practical work.
She has worked in community health centers, substance use treatment programs, employee assistance, and hospital mental health services. That variety informs how she tailors sessions to everyday concerns like work strain, grief, relationship friction, and financial stress. She uses straightforward skills people can try between appointments.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused work. Denise pairs skill teaching with talking through choices so people can notice what helps and what gets in the way. She also includes understanding family background and cultural context when helpful.
Sessions tend to emphasize collaboration and small, measurable steps toward the client’s goals. Denise often uses grounding and coping strategies for anxiety and cravings, and practical planning for life transitions and money-related stress. She encourages clients to use their existing strengths as part of change.
Her style is respectful and compassionate, with an emphasis on real-world solutions. Denise frames clients as experts on their lives and works alongside them to set goals and track progress. She aims to support and empower people as they make changes.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then take steps that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process painful memories and reduce distress associated with them. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Denise will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in, trying tools, and adjusting direction so sessions stay useful and aligned with what the person wants to achieve. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or enabling a call when bandwidth is lower. Licensed professionals can teach skills, guide EMDR-informed processing, and support goal planning just as they would in person, adapting exercises to an online setting.
