About Denise
Denise Billings is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. Denise works in English and pays close attention to cultural background and individual strengths.
She uses clear, practical methods that people can apply between sessions. Much of her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and solution-focused work when clients need tools for emotion regulation and fast problem solving.
Background and approach
Denise treats concerns like trauma and grief by moving at each person’s pace and focusing on safety and stabilization first. For parents she offers support around parenting strain and family conflict, helping develop manageable routines and boundaries. She also helps people living with mood disorders, ADHD, and low self-esteem find steady coping strategies.
Her style is warm and interactive. She aims to build trust quickly and to talk through specific steps people can take. Sessions often include skill practice, goal setting, and short homework tasks to measure progress.
Denise counsels in multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. She works through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and tailors plans to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Denise uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and related behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and coping skills. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools are useful when emotions feel overwhelming and when steadying reactions matters.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Denise will listen to a person’s goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then recommend techniques to try. She prefers a collaborative plan where methods are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can fit a lunch break or low-bandwidth situations, and live chat or text messaging is useful for quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum on skill-building.
