About Dennies

Dennies Libert offers practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling stuck by family stress, parenting challenges, grief, mood shifts, or life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so parents can say what’s hardest without feeling judged. Dennies is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - based in New York with 13 years of psychotherapy work.

She focuses on helping people regain steadiness and clearer direction. Her approach is warm and straightforward.

Background and approach

She creates a calm space where callers can name problems and try small, manageable steps that fit daily life. Dennies uses tried methods like cognitive behavioral therapy to look at unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep the work focused on each person’s goals.

Dennies has supported people through trauma, parenting difficulties, grief, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar challenges. She also helps with anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and coping after major life changes. Her background includes work with families and adults on adjustment and communication problems.

Sessions can include practical skill building, communication practice, and attention to how past relationships shape current struggles. Dennies pays attention to attachment and connection issues when they come up, and she blends mindfulness and grounding techniques when clients need stress relief. She earned a Master of Social Work from Yeshiva University and holds New York LCSW license number 078991.

Dennies aims to help people make steady progress through small, realistic steps and steady support.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work can look at how connection and trust show up in daily family life and parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In a remote session CBT often includes setting small practice tasks to try between meetings and reviewing results together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennies treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is working and what feels most useful for the person or family.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy parents and families. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging provide shorter, more flexible ways to check in. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life 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.
