About Denise

Denise Warnack is an LPC who brings a focused, motivational approach to counseling. With three years recorded experience as a licensed professional counselor in Michigan, she has worked with clients facing substance use and a range of mental health concerns.

Background and approach

Her background includes practice in community agency settings and telehealth, giving her familiarity with remote delivery of care. She draws on client-centered principles to create a supportive, collaborative space and uses evidence-informed tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns and develop practical skills.

Trauma-focused methods are also part of her toolkit for addressing histories of abuse or assault and their continuing effects. Denise aims to help clients move toward meaningful, positive change by blending empathy with goal-oriented strategies.

Her areas of focus include addictions, trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, stress and coping with life changes, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem and career concerns, as well as compassion fatigue and seasonal mood shifts. Denise practices in Michigan and provides services in English, and she offers sessions through various remote formats.

Approaches for online work and flexible care

Denise integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing concrete strategies to change them; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic events and can be helpful for those who have experienced abuse, assault, or other traumatic stressors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Denise works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, then tailors interventions and pacing to fit each person's needs rather than assuming a single method will work for everyone.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limitations. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care from Michigan and to access therapy without commuting, while still allowing therapists and clients to work together on skill-building, coping strategies, and processing difficult experiences.
