About Denise
Dr. Denise Tran -Miles centers her work on helping people make choices aligned with their values. She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help clients manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Denise is an LPC with two decades in mental health care and offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence in sessions.
Her style is warm and direct. She emphasizes education and encouragement so people can move toward goals that matter to them. Sessions focus on skills and actions that translate into daily life, like managing overwhelming feelings, improving communication, and coping with big changes.
Denise draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and existential ideas to shape the work. She adapts tools to each person’s situation rather than using the same plan for everyone. This makes sessions practical and focused on measurable steps.
She has worked across levels of care for about 20 years and trained at University of Colorado in Colorado Springs and California Southern University. Denise has experience addressing issues such as grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, body image, chronic illness, and career stress. Her approach tends to combine skill-building with reflection on values and meaning.
People who connect with her often want straightforward help for life transitions, persistent mood or anxiety problems, or complicated grief and trauma. She supports LGBT concerns and offers coaching-style work when clients want focused goal-setting.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where values guide decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with depression, panic, and everyday worry.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, struggles, and preferences, then suggest a mix of methods that fit. Clients and the therapist revisit what’s working and adjust strategies together as the work progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, help with shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. It may also allow for different ways of working together, such as focusing on skills practice between meetings or using written exercises during a session. Licensed professionals aim to adapt the approach so therapy fits everyday life while keeping goals clear and measurable.
