About Denise
Denise King is a Licensed Professional Counselor with Mental Health Service Provider designation (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee. She draws on ten years of experience helping people address addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and struggles with motivation and self-esteem. Denise writes plainly and focuses on practical next steps to make daily life more manageable.
She works with parents who want clearer routines, less stress, and stronger confidence in their caregiving role.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify strengths and build on them so problems feel more solvable. Denise encourages small, achievable goals that add up to real change. Her approach centers on collaboration.
She treats each person as the expert on their life and uses that perspective to shape treatment goals. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in everyday choices rather than technical terms. Denise also helps when grief, bipolar mood shifts, eating concerns, hoarding, infidelity, or seasonal mood changes get in the way of functioning.
She combines practical strategies and coaching-style support to help people regain forward momentum. Beginning therapy is framed as a brave first step. During the first meetings she helps clients set clear goals and picks simple tools to practice between sessions.
Over time the focus can shift as needs change and progress is made.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques form the basis of Denise's work. One common strategy focuses on setting specific, achievable goals and building routines that reduce stress and increase functioning. This helps with parenting strain, motivation, and day-to-day coping.Another approach emphasizes strength-based coaching. It involves identifying personal resources and using them to tackle problems like addictions, relationship issues, or confidence gaps. The method is practical and action-oriented, with steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Denise will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. That means trying a method, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier on low-bandwidth days or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style feedback, and quick problem-solving between longer appointments. These options make it simpler to add therapy to a parent's routine and to keep progress moving even when schedules change.
