She helps people set clear goals and checks in about what is working. The goal is to make changes that last and that fit a family’s routine and values.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarify goals, which can help when families need better communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to reduce anxiety or manage mood; it is useful for stress, depression, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dennice will talk with each person or family about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. She adapts techniques over time so the work stays practical and relevant to everyday life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. These options let people connect from home, follow a regular plan, and use different ways of communicating when that helps progress. Licensed professionals can use online tools to combine conversation, worksheets, and short exercises between sessions to keep momentum going.

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.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
