About Denise
Denise Billings is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with ten years of professional experience based in Florida. She offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and parenting challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and informed by a multicultural perspective.
Denise focuses on clear, actionable steps rather than long lectures. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses trauma and its effects, using trauma-focused methods to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and track small wins. The mix of approaches aims to match what each person needs in the moment.
Denise aims to create a warm, interactive space where people feel heard and respected. She avoids stigmatizing labels and encourages clients to build practical life skills. Parents who are struggling with stress or behavior concerns can expect concrete tools to try between sessions.
Her background includes a decade of counseling adults and adolescents across a range of issues, including bipolar disorder, ADHD, and relationship concerns. She holds Florida LMHC and Utah LCMHC credentials and brings a straightforward, compassionate style to each appointment.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Denise commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy when addressing anxiety, mood concerns, parenting stress, and trauma reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and routines so daily life feels more manageable. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of traumatic events and offers steps to reduce reactivity and improve coping.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier for busy parents. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief support, homework prompts, or follow-up between sessions. These options aim to make regular care more flexible and easier to fit into a normal week.
