About Denise

Dr. Denise Tran -Miles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 20 years of experience in mental health. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of life adjustments. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer choices rather than labels.

She uses cognitive and behavioral methods alongside acceptance-based work to help people notice patterns that fuel anger and stress. That includes teaching ways to pause, track triggers, and respond differently at work or at home. Her approach also draws on client-centered conversations that let people set the pace and focus of therapy.

Dr. Tran -Miles has provided care across levels of service and settings over two decades. She earned a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in 2019 and a Master of Arts in Community Counseling in 2009. The LPC credential is noted for Colorado practice.

Practical tools are a steady part of sessions. Techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) help reframe unhelpful thoughts. Elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) support identifying values and committing to small steps that reflect them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

People who want help managing anger, improving communication, or handling career and parenting stress can expect clear strategies and coach-style feedback. The focus is on making everyday choices less reactive and more intentional. To begin, follow the site directions to view online therapy options and schedule a session.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps when anger or avoidance gets in the way of routines, relationships, or work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down the links between thoughts, feelings, and reactions and then practices different responses. It is useful for reducing reactivity and changing habitual interpretations that fuel anger. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's priorities and pace, giving room to name what matters and try small changes.

Finding the right approach is often part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit how the client prefers to work. That collaboration helps refine whether more CBT skill-building, ACT values work, or DBT distress-tolerance strategies will be most helpful.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins between in-person meetings. Some formats are better for active skills practice while others suit shorter goal-setting or follow-up visits, so check which options are offered and choose what fits daily life best.
