About Denise

Denise Billings is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC, LCMHC) based in Florida who brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. She offers a warm, interactive style and focuses on clear, practical steps people can use to feel better day to day. Sessions are conducted in English and she addresses mood and life challenges such as depression and anxiety.

Her approach leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside solution-focused and trauma-informed work. Denise helps people name patterns that keep them stuck and then practices small changes together. She uses straightforward tools for stress, anger, coping with life changes, and managing mood swings like those seen in bipolar conditions.

Denise also supports parents who feel overwhelmed and people coping with grief or relationship strain. She attends to multicultural concerns and aims to respect each person’s background in conversations about goals and expectations. Her manner is respectful and nonjudgmental, avoiding stigmatizing labels while encouraging practical progress.

With a focus on skills and short-term strategies, Denise works with people who want concrete ways to handle symptoms and improve daily functioning. She pairs talk with exercises people can try between sessions. The result is a clear plan that fits into everyday life rather than vague promises.

To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location and therapist availability.

How specific approaches fit into online therapy

Denise commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which helps with depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for anger, relationship strain, and mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Denise will work with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape practical homework and skills practice between visits so therapy fits the individual’s life and priorities.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, support shorter check-ins when needed, and allow for options that don’t require travel. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT tools for remote conversations, using exercises, worksheets, and brief skill practice to help people make steady progress.
