About Denise
LPC Denise Thornton is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with six years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and grief. She also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, and life changes.
Denise frames sessions around practical steps people can use between meetings. She uses client-centered work to listen and respond to what matters most to each person. She mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Solution-Focused Therapy to build small, doable changes.
Her approach is straightforward. She looks for tools clients can try right away. Then she checks what worked and adjusts the plan. This gives clients a sense of progress instead of only talking about problems.
Denise has experience with adoption and foster care issues, codependency, fertility-related strain, panic attacks, social anxiety, and challenges common to young adults. She names these areas as additional focuses and brings them into practical sessions when relevant.
Her training includes a Master of Science from Texas A&M University-Commerce and the LPC credential. In sessions she helps people process difficult emotions, practice new skills, and make small changes that fit their daily life. She asks for specific goals and measures progress as they go.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns back, clarifies priorities, and follows the client's lead on pace and topics. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing short exercises between visits. This approach is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to small, practical steps that create forward movement. Sessions focus on what is already working, set concrete next steps, and review progress in the following meeting. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which techniques to try first. If an approach doesn't fit, they adjust the plan together. Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Those practical benefits help many people maintain consistency with the therapeutic work.Sheet 3
