Kenneth Denny, LCSW, CSW

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Client-centered work focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, helps clarify goals, and shapes sessions around each client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to shift patterns that cause distress; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured approach for people with trauma-related memories and can help reduce the intensity of those memories when used appropriately.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Kenneth will collaborate with clients to decide which approach or combination makes the most sense based on their goals, symptoms, and preferences. He often blends listening, skills teaching, and mindfulness practice so that people leave with concrete tools to use between sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from a distance, phone can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, and messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options help fit therapy into busy routines and different life situations.
