About Denise
Denise Honeyford is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of practice. She works from Tennessee and brings 20 years of experience helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life changes. She believes people know their own story and already carry strengths to build on.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused. Denise supports practical steps so clients can try new habits and notice small changes. Her experience includes helping people facing addictions, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem and relationships.
Background and approach
She also has a focus on aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, intellectual disability, and isolation or loneliness. Denise often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to frame work in session. That means she helps people notice patterns of thinking and try different coping skills to manage overwhelming feelings and behaviors.
People can expect a collaborative approach. Denise talks through goals, teaches practical skills, and checks progress along the way. The emphasis is on clear steps that can fit into everyday life and on building tools that stay useful after sessions end.

How DBT and CBT are used in online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. It uses short exercises and practical homework to change what happens day to day.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on building skills for strong emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal choices. It is useful when emotions feel intense or when coping strategies have not helped in the past.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. That collaborative process helps match tools and strategies to each person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow a full session similar to in-person meetings, phone sessions can be a good alternative when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins or continued skill practice between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
