About Denise

Denise Cooper is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She draws on two decades of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or parenting concerns. Her style is direct and respectful, and she focuses on what each person needs in the moment.

She uses client-centered work to follow the person's lead and build on their strengths. That means conversations concentrate on what matters most to the client and on practical steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Denise also incorporates attachment-focused ideas to untangle old relationship patterns and to help people form healthier connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when helpful to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to strengthen coping skills and clarify goals.

Sessions aim to be concrete and doable rather than abstract or overly technical. Denise has particular experience supporting people dealing with grief, parenting strain, intimacy issues, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and worries about career or life changes. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, body image, communication problems, and family of origin issues.

Her online practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Response times for messages are typically within 24 to 48 hours, and live sessions can be scheduled during weekday hours and some weekend times. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair people with the right schedule and format.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Denise uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's needs, listening first and then shaping sessions around what the client wants to address. This approach is useful for a wide range of concerns, from parenting stress to career transitions, because it lets the person's goals guide the work.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand repeated relationship patterns and to try new ways of connecting with others. This can be helpful for intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and family of origin work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when practical tools are needed to shift thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Denise will talk with clients about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and focused.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging works well for brief updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives.
