Denise Warnack, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Denise

Denise Warnack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. She brings direct experience from community work with substance use and mental health clients, and she has provided therapy via telehealth. Denise aims to help people who want practical support and clear next steps for change.

Her style is straightforward and goal-minded. She focuses on motivating clients and supporting them through challenges. Sessions are aimed at small, doable changes rather than vague promises.

Background and approach

Denise uses approaches that match each person's needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the client's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.

For people impacted by trauma, she applies trauma-focused practices to address difficult memories and reactions. She pairs this work with coping skills to manage stress in daily life. Her background includes years in community agencies working with substance use and mental health concerns, and experience delivering care through telehealth.

That combination shapes a practical, access-minded way of working with clients who want to make tangible progress.

Approaches and online support for practical change

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. It helps people feel heard and decide which goals matter most in their life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It breaks bigger issues into concrete steps and teaches skills to change patterns that cause anxiety or low mood.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses reactions tied to past harm. It helps people process difficult memories while building tools to manage strong emotions and reduce daily overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Progress is shaped together, with adjustments made as work unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions work when video isn't possible, and live chat or text messaging let clients check in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.

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.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
