About Denise
Denise Morgan is an LCSW who brings 18 years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, addiction, relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, career transitions, and ADHD.
Background and approach
She has a particular interest in helping clients process the lingering effects of traumatic events, whether those memories stem from large-scale incidents or smaller experiences that continue to influence day-to-day functioning. Her background includes a range of trauma-focused and somatic methods alongside evidence-based interventions.
Her style centers on getting to know each person's story and strengths, then collaboratively shaping goals that feel meaningful and achievable. Denise blends client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, solution-focused strategies, and somatic techniques to help clients reduce symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and move through painful experiences.
She also attends to related concerns such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and issues tied to family of origin. Denise practices in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Denise uses techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address distressing thoughts and traumatic memories. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to shift reactions and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. EMDR involves structured processing of traumatic memories to reduce their intensity and the way they affect current functioning, which can be useful for a range of trauma-related problems.She also integrates client-centered principles to keep the work grounded in each person’s experience, listening for individual strengths and preferences. Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process in which therapist and client explore options, adjust methods as needed, and choose strategies that align with the client's goals and comfort level.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent care, fit therapy into a busy life, and access support from home or work while working through symptoms and life transitions.
