About Denise
Denise Kidd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 22 years of counseling experience. She draws on long-term work in behavioral health and recovery services to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. Denise takes an approachable, down-to-earth stance and aims to meet people where they are in life.
She has worked across community health centers, substance use treatment settings, employee assistance programs, and hospital mental health services. That variety shapes her practical perspective on healing and recovery. Denise uses straightforward tools to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills.
Her style is warm, interactive, and solution focused. Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals, skill building, and short-term strategies that fit everyday life. She also brings attention to cultural and family factors when they matter to a person's story.
Denise mixes approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness-based ideas, motivational interviewing, and EMDR when appropriate. Together with each person she outlines steps toward relief, better functioning, or personal growth. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual's needs.
People who want practical steps, respectful listening, and focused support often find this approach helpful. Denise emphasizes strengths, normalizes setbacks, and supports clients as they try new ways of coping and relating to themselves and others.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions aligned with their values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and problems caused by avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers concrete strategies for managing panic, low mood, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional hold; it is often applied when trauma or abuse are part of the picture.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, symptoms, and daily life to match methods that feel right. Plans can combine elements from different approaches and adjust over time based on what helps.
Because the original profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days by removing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or between errands. Some approaches work well with focused homework and short skill practices that fit into a daily routine, which can be helpful when juggling family and work demands. Licensed professionals can guide pacing and structure so sessions align with each person's schedule and goals.
