About Denise
LPC Denise Black Winston is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with nine years of counseling experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem, depression, addiction, grief, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and support a range of related issues including adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and social anxiety.
Denise draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused methods. She aims to listen first and help people set practical goals. Conversations are straightforward and goal oriented, with attention to what a person wants to change next.
Her background includes long experience in child welfare before qualifying as an LPC. That work involved supporting children and navigating family systems, which informs how she notices dynamics and practical stresses now. Her training and history give her familiarity with adoption, foster care, and caregiver concerns.
In sessions she breaks problems into manageable steps. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns that keep people stuck. She uses solution-focused techniques to build small, practical changes that fit daily life.
Clients who come for help with addiction, grief, or depression can expect direct conversation about coping strategies and next steps. Denise emphasizes skills people can try between meetings and checks progress in follow-up sessions. The aim is concrete change rather than abstract theory.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting. In an online session this means the therapist focuses on understanding a person’s concerns and priorities, then follows the person’s lead to decide what to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Online CBT sessions tend to include checking recent patterns, trying simple exercises, and setting short tasks to practice between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small actionable steps and what works now; remote meetings can be used to define tiny changes and monitor progress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options with the client and adapt methods based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to use and how to pace sessions.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the exact session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a day, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people try therapeutic techniques without rearranging their whole schedule.
