About Denise
Denise Hamilton is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 15 years of clinical experience based in Michigan. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Denise also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment issues, and caregiving strain.
Denise uses a mix of practical methods rather than a single model. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, and client-centered work. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and feelings, trying new behaviors, and strengthening meaningful relationships.
Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She prefers active participation, adjusting how she talks and teaches to match each person’s way of learning and communicating. Expect straightforward conversation, practical skills to try between sessions, and an occasional touch of humor.
Denise is experienced supporting people through life transitions like adoption and foster care issues, divorce and separation, chronic illness, and career shifts. She also addresses concerns such as body image, codependency, control issues, and coping after disasters.
Her practice notes that session fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Denise Uses Therapy Models Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and frustration that keeps people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce reactivity and improve problem solving. It is often used for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on how emotions shape relationships and helps people communicate feelings more clearly and repair hurting connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
