About Denise

Denise Flack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working from Louisiana. She brings nine years of clinical experience to conversations about everyday stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, and parenting. Her approach is direct but warm, aimed at helping people understand what drives their feelings and actions so they can make practical changes.

Denise prefers short, clear sessions that focus on getting to the heart of a problem at a pace the client chooses.

Background and approach

She helps clients notice the thoughts and patterns that shape reactions. Then she works with them to try small, doable shifts that lead to different results. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, emotion-focused methods, and cognitive tools.

That means Denise pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current feelings, and she teaches skills to manage strong emotions and unhelpful thinking. She also uses client-centered listening to follow each person’s priorities. Clients can expect a mix of practical skill-building and deeper discussion about patterns that may be operating below awareness.

Denise often helps people bring unconscious patterns into view so they can change how they respond in daily life. She encourages curiosity and openness during the process. Sessions are available in English and Portuguese.

Denise works with concerns that include grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and body image worries, career changes, ADHD, and many family and life transition topics. She aims to help people find more balance and clearer choices.

Approach-driven online care that fits your life

Denise draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions and security in close connections. This helps when patterns of mistrust, avoidance, or clinginess interfere with day-to-day interactions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change feelings over time. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and building practical coping skills. Together these approaches aim to balance understanding emotional roots and teaching clear tools for change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Denise will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences, then recommend methods to try. She adapts the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy family or work routines and keep momentum between meetings.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
