About Denise

Dr. Denise Tran -Miles is an LPC who combines practical therapies with a warm, respectful presence. She focuses on helping people change habits, manage intense feelings, and make choices that match their values. She aims to guide clients toward clearer goals and steadier daily routines.

She uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. These methods shape her sessions and inform how she helps with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other concerns such as codependency and intimacy-related issues.

With about 20 years in mental health, she has worked across different levels of care and with a range of concerns. Her background includes a Doctor in Psychology degree earned in 2019 and a Master’s degree in Community Counseling completed in 2009. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Science.

Her practice is described as compassionate, non-judgmental, and focused on individual strengths. Sessions emphasize education, encouragement, and practical skills people can use between meetings. She also incorporates EMDR when clinically appropriate.

Dr. Tran -Miles is located in Colorado and conducts therapy in English. People who want to begin can follow the site's Start Therapy process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on clinician availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's own experience, offering empathy and gentle reflection so people can find their own solutions.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they adjust methods over time so work in sessions connects to real life and produces usable skills.

The biography did not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings around work, school, or caregiver duties. It also lets people use shorter check-ins or avoid travel on busy days. Licensed professionals guide how often to meet and which techniques to use so progress moves at a practical pace.
