About Dena
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with 10 years of experience, Dena Walker helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and life transitions. She offers practical strategies and clear conversation aimed at making daily problems easier to handle.
Dena uses approaches that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and present goals. She works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused methods to build coping skills and improve emotional regulation.
In sessions she keeps the work straightforward. People can expect collaborative planning, short-term skills practice, and regular check-ins about what is or isn’t working. Dena emphasizes concrete steps such as behavioral experiments, breathing and grounding exercises, and communication practice tailored to the concern at hand.
Her practice pays attention to caregiver stress, workplace difficulties, problems with money or isolation, and issues tied to guilt, shame, or panic. She also supports women facing mood disorders, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress by combining skills training with goal-focused problem solving.
People typically leave sessions with one or two actionable strategies to try between meetings. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to set priorities and plan next steps.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
CBT helps people notice and test negative thoughts and then try small behavior changes to see if things feel different. It suits worries, depression, panic, and practical problems like workplace or money stress.DBT focuses on teaching concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving communication. Mindfulness therapy involves brief attention and breathing practices that reduce rumination and help with anxiety and mood symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Early sessions typically include a short assessment and a plan that can be revised over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often adapt exercises for remote sessions, for example using guided breathing, screen-shared worksheets, or brief between-session tasks to practice skills.
