About Denise

Denise Warnack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She brings a background in substance abuse and mental health work and three years listed experience as an LPC. Denise focuses on helping people who are trying to make changes in their lives. She aims to motivate clients and offer practical guidance during difficult times.

Her work often centers on trauma and abuse, addictions, anxiety, depression, and stress. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, self-esteem, and career questions. Additional areas she notes include ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, seasonal affective disorder, personality disorder issues, and matters related to veterans and sexual assault.

Denise uses approaches that include Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In sessions she focuses on listening, identifying goals, and helping clients try new ways of handling problems. She emphasizes clear steps people can take between meetings.

Her background includes work in a community agency supporting substance use and mental health needs. She has experience providing therapy through telehealth. Those experiences shape a straightforward, motivational style that aims to help people move toward tangible change.

People who prefer practical guidance and a collaborative pace may find her approach fits. To confirm session types and scheduling, clients should review the booking options before they make an appointment.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and respond to past upsetting events. It focuses on understanding what happened, how it affects current life, and building coping skills to reduce distress.

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's own goals and experience at the center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and supports clients as they decide on next steps and personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to manage anxiety, depression, or stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Denise will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports continued work when circumstances change, while letting therapists and clients focus on specific goals and skills during appointments.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
