Denise Snyder, LCSW

Denise Snyder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 31 years of professional experience in a range of care settings. She has provided services in the mental health system, within school programs, at an Employee Assistance Program, in an in-patient alcohol rehabilitation facility, and inside the foster care system. Her background gives her experience working with a wide variety of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, eating disorders, loss and grief, relationship difficulties, anger management, motivation, self esteem, and assertiveness.

Denise practices with a mix of therapeutic models, including solution-focused work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and family systems approaches. She emphasizes meeting clients where they are, treating each person with respect, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. Denise recognizes that change can feel uncomfortable and draws on both professional training and life experience - as a wife and the mother of two grown children - to support clients through transitions and challenges.

She approaches each person as the expert of their own story and aims to highlight strengths that help overcome obstacles. Taking the step to pursue a more satisfying and happier life requires courage, and Denise offers steady support throughout that process. Outside of work she enjoys outdoor activities like kayaking and hiking, is an avid reader, and cares for two rescue dogs, including a retired greyhound.

Evidence-Based Techniques Delivered Remotely

Denise Snyder draws on proven therapeutic approaches that translate well to online formats. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood disorders by helping clients build practical coping skills. Solution-focused work centers on goals and strengths, encouraging quick, concrete steps to move toward meaningful change and is often useful for motivation, relationship concerns, and short-term challenges. Family systems approaches explore how patterns within relationships affect individual well-being and can help address communication problems, conflict, and long-standing relational dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and Denise works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods over time, combining techniques when appropriate to support progress in a respectful, person-centered way.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from locations that suit them, reduce travel time, and provide multiple ways to engage in therapy according to comfort and life demands.
