Background and approach
Denis does not shy away from hard topics and invites clients to raise every question that matters to them. He frames therapy as a real effort that asks for commitment and persistence. Denis draws on several therapeutic approaches to meet different needs.
He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. He applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Client-centered methods make space for the person’s own pace and voice in session.
Therapy with Denis typically focuses on small, achievable steps. He helps people practice skills between sessions and track what works. Conversations are aimed at practical change rather than abstract theory.
Denis is a New York-based clinician with three years of experience as a licensed mental health counselor. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in formats that fit the client’s life.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Denis commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values even when difficult feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns in thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change how those patterns affect mood and actions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Denis will talk with clients about goals and try strategies that line up with their needs. Together they decide which methods fit best and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text let people check in, do shorter exchanges, or work through thoughts between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, and busy family schedules while keeping focus on progress.
