Dr. Denise Finney, LPC

Dr. Denise Finney holds a Doctorate Degree in Counseling Studies and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina and Georgia. She has long-standing involvement with professional organizations, including the National Association for Mental Health Counselors and the American Counselors Association, and brings extensive experience in both individual and group counseling formats.

Across her career she has addressed concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger management, and stress management, and she adapts therapy to fit the needs of each person she sees. Her primary therapeutic orientation is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an approach that examines how thoughts and behaviors interact, and she combines this with other methods to tailor treatment to individual goals.

Dr. Finney emphasizes the value of listening and helping people draw on their own strengths. She aims to help clients feel more empowered outside of sessions by applying practical skills and insight developed in therapy. She looks forward to working with individuals seeking compassionate, experienced support through life changes and emotional challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Denise Finney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online sessions in ways that are practical and goal oriented. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and then learn strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and attainable steps forward, helping people build on what works well in their lives and move toward clear, short-term goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Dr. Finney collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Dr. Finney is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of treatment, access sessions from different locations within her practice area, and choose the communication style that best supports each client’s progress.
