About Denise

Denise Kidd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with more than two decades of clinical experience. She has spent years helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, career challenges, and depression. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in showing respect for each person’s background and culture.

Denise has worked across a range of settings, including community health centers, substance use treatment programs, employee assistance services, and hospital mental health departments. That mix of experience informs how she adapts care to fit different life situations and practical needs.

Her therapy style is described as warm, interactive, and solution-focused. Sessions typically combine practical tools, education about recovery, and mindfulness practices. Denise emphasizes strengths and partners with clients to set clear, realistic goals.

She uses a variety of therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These methods are selected to match the client’s goals and the issues they want to address.

Denise aims to meet people where they are and to work together toward symptom relief, better functioning, or personal growth. She focuses on empowering clients to use their own strengths to navigate life changes, cope with difficult feelings, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, then choose values-based steps forward. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it often suits mood and anxiety concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps people process distressing memories and reduce emotional intensity tied to trauma or difficult past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods might help. That conversation is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and cut down travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and let clients use tools and worksheets during or between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EMDR techniques to work in remote sessions, and the therapist will help choose what fits a client’s needs and routine.
