About Denisha
Denisha Smith is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who centers sessions on practical approaches clients can use right away. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and depression. Denisha emphasizes respectful pacing and clear steps so people feel able to try new coping skills between sessions.
With 11 years of experience, she has supported people facing trauma, post-traumatic stress, relationship and family problems, parenting strain, and workplace stress.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with people who have experienced emotional abuse and those navigating grief, life changes, or identity and multicultural concerns. Denisha blends structured techniques with a person-focused style. Sessions often involve identifying patterns of thought, practicing grounding and breathing, and trying small behavior changes that reduce reactivity.
She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma memories are a central concern. She aims for a collaborative tone in the room. Clients set the pace and goals, and Denisha offers tools, gentle challenge, and accountability to help reach them.
She values direct communication and clear homework that fits everyday life. People who prefer conversation-based work will find a mix of practical skill building and deeper reflection. Denisha describes her role as a guide who helps people remove unhelpful labels, build self-compassion, and move toward lasting shifts in how they manage anger and stress.

Therapeutic approaches available online and what they do
Denisha often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with more useful actions; this approach is practical for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma memories interfere with daily life, offering structured ways to reduce the intensity of those memories. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these methods to teach grounding and attention skills that lower reactivity.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then try techniques together and adjust over time. Clients help set the pace and test strategies between sessions so the work fits real life.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, skill practice, or when writing out thoughts feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week while using the same therapeutic approaches as in-person care.
