About Denise Buckingham
Denise has a particular interest in working with adolescents while also maintaining a strong in-person adult caseload. She is drawn to message-based and live chat counseling and values the different ways people prefer to communicate during therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth
Denise integrates psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in online sessions. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on exploring emotions and how past experiences shape current patterns, which can be helpful for understanding long-standing relationship and emotional themes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and offers practical tools to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep difficulties. She also draws on client-centered principles, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where the client's priorities guide the work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Denise works with each person to identify goals and preferences, adjusting methods over time so the therapy fits the client's needs and comfort level. This shared decision making helps shape an effective path forward.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in ways that fit their schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats, and integrate therapy into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in these approaches.
