About Denise

Dr. Denise Tran -Miles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with two decades of clinical experience. She centers her approach on practical therapies that help people manage strong emotions, including anger, and move toward goals that matter to them.

She uses therapies that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and values. Sessions often include techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to reduce unhelpful patterns and build coping skills.

Background and approach

She also draws on client-centered principles to create an accepting space for exploration. Dr. Tran -Miles has worked across multiple levels of care over her 20 year career.

Her background includes a Doctor of Psychology degree earned in 2019 and a master’s degree in community counseling from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs earned in 2009. She brings that experience to help people handle issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma-related concerns.

People come for help with everyday problems and complex challenges alike, including relationship strain, parenting stress, career transitions, body image, and managing mood fluctuations. She also supports those coping with caregiving burdens, chronic illness, or recovery from loss. Her style is empathic and nonjudgmental.

In sessions she aims to educate, encourage, and empower clients so they can make choices that align with their values and long-term goals.

Approach and online options for strong emotions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions even when emotions are strong. It helps people move toward what matters to them rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete strategies to change those patterns and reduce symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people feel heard and make their own choices.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to test techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time based on goals and preferences. Sessions are meant to combine skills practice with support so clients can use what they learn in daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions approximate an in-person conversation and allow visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text can help maintain momentum between longer sessions and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy day. These options aim to make care more flexible and easier to access from different places.
