About Denise
Denise Billings is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who uses practical, skills-based therapy to help people manage stress and parenting challenges. She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused work to create clear, doable steps families can try between sessions. Denise works in English and brings about ten years of experience to her practice.
She focuses on common problems parents and adults face, including anxiety, depression, grief, anger, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, trauma and family concerns.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and interactive. She aims to build trust quickly and to set simple goals that feel achievable. In sessions she teaches concrete tools - for example, ways to challenge unhelpful thoughts, skills for managing intense emotions, and short-term plans for solving specific problems.
She also uses trauma-focused techniques when past experiences get in the way of day-to-day functioning. These methods are explained in plain language so families can try them at home. Denise pays attention to multicultural concerns and respects different backgrounds when shaping treatment.
Her approach blends practical skill training with a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance. Parents and adults leave sessions with specific steps to practice. Background and approach: Denise holds Florida and Utah licenses as LMHC and LCMHC and has about ten years of clinical work.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on therapist availability.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Denise uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones; this helps with anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by giving clear exercises people can practice between sessions. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can be helpful for managing intense feelings and anger in the moment. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She discusses your goals and preferences and then recommends strategies from CBT or DBT or brief solution-focused techniques. The choice is collaborative so the plan fits your family’s needs and daily life. Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls let you meet face to face, phone sessions work when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text messaging can keep contact brief and flexible between visits. These formats aim to increase access and make practicing new skills more convenient for parents and adults balancing many responsibilities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
