About Denise

Denise Honeyford is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of professional experience, licensed to practice in Tennessee and Washington State. As an LCSW she has advanced training in mental health assessment, treatment planning, and therapeutic intervention, and she draws on that training to support people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

Her practice focuses on a range of concerns including stress, addictions, grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, career challenges, and coping with major life changes. Additional areas of focus include aging and geriatric issues, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, forgiveness work, hospice and end-of-life counseling, intellectual disability, isolation and loneliness, and mood disorders. She integrates evidence-based methods to help clients build practical skills and regain a sense of control.

Denise approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and that individual strengths are central to healing. She emphasizes collaborative work and validates that reaching out for support takes courage. Her role is to listen, offer guidance, and help clients identify and use the strengths they already possess to move toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replacing them with more adaptive ways of thinking and behaving. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns and emphasizes practical skills and short-term strategies that produce measurable change.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines acceptance and change strategies to help people regulate intense emotions, manage interpersonal conflicts, and reduce self-destructive behaviors. It offers concrete skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and effective communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Denise works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she tailors methods accordingly so that treatment fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers flexibility by making appointments available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce the need for travel, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. For many people, remote sessions provide an accessible way to receive consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists.
