About Kenneth

Kenneth Denny is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses a practical, client-centered approach to help people facing stress and life transitions. He blends clear, direct conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness therapies. Kenneth writes straightforward plans with clients so they know what to try between sessions.

With 35 years of experience he draws on a broad clinical background to address common concerns that bring people to therapy.

Background and approach

He works with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and grief. He also supports people navigating relationship and parenting questions, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, career choices, and coping with life changes. Kenneth includes attention to areas such as ADHD, bipolar and mood disorders when relevant to the presenting problem.

His style is relaxed, engaging, and direct. Sessions focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that cause problems and then trying practical strategies to change them. He also uses EMDR when trauma symptoms are present and psychodynamic ideas when understanding patterns from the past is useful.

Kenneth has worked across varied cultural and economic backgrounds and includes LGBT clients in his practice. He practices in Georgia and holds the license GA LCSW CSW001654, listed as LCSW, CSW. He conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients.

His typical process is to collaborate on goals and build a small toolkit for managing symptoms between appointments. He emphasizes steady progress and concrete steps rather than vague promises. Parents and adults looking for clear guidance on family or parenting matters may find his style helpful.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and life challenges

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own answers. It emphasizes respect, acceptance, and building on a person's strengths to solve current problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps when past traumatic memories continue to cause distress and can reduce troubling symptoms when used appropriately.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kenneth will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays aligned with the client's needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can fit busy schedules, and live chat or text messaging provide quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and travel.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
