About Denise
Denise Adeline Muse offers practical, down-to-earth support for adults facing stress, anxiety, mood shifts, trauma, and life transitions. She begins by listening to what matters most to each person and helps them set clear, doable goals. Denise aims to create a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk through hard things and build skills that fit their daily life.
With 20 years of clinical experience, Denise draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, and EMDR to guide sessions.
Background and approach
She tailors techniques to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions typically focus on coping strategies, mood management, improving communication, and processing difficult events. Denise has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, and caregiving stress.
She also addresses physical-health related challenges such as chronic pain, cancer-related distress, and the emotional impact of illness. Her background supports helping people navigate major life changes and compassion fatigue. People describe her approach as collaborative and strengths-based, with attention to practical steps and repeated practice.
She uses plain language and concrete exercises so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions. Denise is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - practicing in Tennessee. Therapy can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging.
New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions that fit their schedules.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Denise commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Acceptance and commitment therapy emphasizes noticing difficult feelings, clarifying values, and taking meaningful action even when emotions are hard, which is useful for stress, avoidance, and life transitions.She approaches treatment collaboratively. That means she will discuss different methods, try options, and adjust based on how the person responds. Together they pick methods that match the client’s goals, routines, and what feels most helpful in real life.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, written reflections, and flexible touchpoints between sessions. These choices help people access care around work, family, and other commitments while continuing the therapeutic work.
