About Denise
Denise Kidd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 22 years of clinical experience. She has worked across community health centers, substance use treatment programs, employee assistance services, and hospital-based mental health settings, bringing a broad background in behavioral health and recovery services.
Background and approach
Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes, with additional attention to attachment concerns, blended family challenges, codependency, communication problems, and related issues. Her style is warm, interactive, and solution-oriented, combining practical skills with compassion and multicultural sensitivity.
She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. Denise emphasizes collaboration, believing clients are the experts on their own stories and drawing on their strengths to work toward clearer functioning and symptom relief.
Clients can expect a respectful, strengths-based partnership that addresses immediate concerns while building coping skills and insight. She meets people where they are in their journey and supports goals ranging from symptom reduction to greater life purpose and improved relationships.
Integrating evidence-based approaches for online care
Denise draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with new behaviors; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult emotions are present, which can help with persistent worries or life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are incorporated when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are goals, offering concrete skills for intense emotional states.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Denise works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts methods from these approaches so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model on every client.
Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it possible to schedule support around work and family commitments and to maintain continuity of care during life changes. Licensed professionals can deliver CBT, ACT, and DBT-informed interventions effectively through these channels while tailoring pacing and tools to each client’s access and comfort.
