About Denise
Dr. Denise Finney offers direct, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of experience and works from Georgia.
Her style is straightforward and listening-focused, aimed at helping people feel more capable between sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify thoughts and actions that keep problems going. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and build on what already works.
Background and approach
Dr. Finney adapts her methods to each person's needs rather than following only one script. Dr.
Finney has spent decades leading both individual and group counseling. That background informs how she structures sessions to be clear and goal-oriented. She pays attention to experiences of multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and self-love as part of the work.
Practical coping skills are often a focus. Sessions may include ways to manage anger, handle life changes, reduce compassion fatigue, or address ADHD-related challenges. The aim is to leave each session with concrete steps to try at home.
She offers online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To get started, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to scheduling that fits both the client and the therapist.
Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting concerns
Dr. Finney commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In CBT she works with clients to practice new ways of thinking and acting that reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her toolkit; it centers on small, practical goals and on building solutions from what already works in a person’s life.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor which methods to use. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable from the start.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer more scheduling flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family routines or to check in between meetings. The variety of formats also lets people pick how they communicate best while working on coping skills, goal setting, and everyday parenting challenges.
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.
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.
