About Denise
Denise Hamilton is a LICSW and an LMSW with 15 years of clinical experience based in Michigan. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges around self-esteem and parenting. Sessions are delivered in English and she does not work with international clients.
Denise uses several therapeutic approaches to guide conversations about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered techniques, and cognitive behavioral methods. In practical terms she focuses on identifying patterns that get in the way and trying different ways to respond to those patterns.
Her style emphasizes collaboration and active participation. She encourages clear, direct discussion and adapts to a person’s preferred way of communicating and learning. That can mean working on emotion recognition, changing unhelpful thinking, or practicing new ways of relating to others.
Denise also brings experience from leadership and nonprofit roles, and she applies that background when clients want coaching around career confidence, workplace communication, or improving leadership skills. She is comfortable talking about complex life transitions, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and blended family issues.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the interaction patterns they drive. It is often used when people want help understanding strong feelings and how those feelings shape their relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then taking actions that reflect personal values; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships affect expectations and reactions, and it can help with attachment issues and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That may mean trying one approach for several sessions and then adjusting based on what helps most.
