Denise Mosby-Lewis, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Denise

Denise Mosby-Lewis is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, family concerns, parenting stress, and life transitions. She meets people where they are and works at a steady, straightforward pace.

Seeking help can feel hard, and she aims to make the first steps easier and more manageable. Denise believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work.

Background and approach

She uses those strengths as the foundation for change and growth. In sessions she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients try tools that fit their daily life. Goals are practical and set together so progress feels real and relevant.

Her approach blends methods like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and emotionally focused work to address difficult feelings and painful memories. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. Sessions mix talking, practicing new skills, and checking what works between meetings.

Over two decades Denise has supported people through loss, relationship strain, postpartum challenges, and recovery from abuse. She pays attention to safety, pacing, and building coping skills while honoring each person’s limits. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on what helps in daily life.

Denise provides services in English and works with adults who want practical support for parenting, family stress, and personal healing. She asks questions, listens, and helps people find ways to move forward at their own pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward what matters most. It is useful when life feels overwhelming or values are unclear.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can ease anxiety, low mood, and self-critical patterns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotions and relationship patterns to help people understand what they need and how to express it more clearly. This can be helpful for people facing communication struggles or repeated relational hurt.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and needs, and together they will choose which methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time if something isn’t helping.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule around parenting and family responsibilities, reduce travel time, and keep continuity when life gets busy. Many people find that a mix of synchronous and text-based check-ins helps them practice skills between sessions and stay connected to support.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
