About Denise

Denise Adeline Muse is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, and life transitions. She blends practical skills with steady support so people can make small changes that add up. Denise focuses on clear goals and works at a pace that feels manageable.

With 20 years of experience, she draws from several approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and client-centered, with attention to how early attachments and life events shape current struggles.

Background and approach

She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based strategies to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and find values they want to live by. Denise also integrates trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause distress. That can include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for people who need targeted work on traumatic memories.

Mindfulness and grounding skills are used to reduce immediate upset and build resilience. Her practice style is nonjudgmental and strengths-based, so conversations focus on what a person already does well. Denise helps clients set realistic steps for change, from improving sleep and coping with grief to managing mood swings and addiction concerns.

People can expect straightforward talk, practical homework when useful, and steady support between sessions. Denise aims to help people feel more connected to their goals and better able to handle life’s demands.

Online support

How attachment work and evidence-based methods translate online

Denise uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people understand why they react a certain way and practice different ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and identify values to guide action.

She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. Together with the person she will try different tools and see what fits best for their goals and comfort level. The plan can shift as needs change so the work stays practical and focused on what matters most.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can support shorter touchpoints, homework, or ongoing tracking between longer sessions. These options help people make therapy fit work, family, and daily life.
