About Denise
Denise Goin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and depression. She supports those facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, career decisions, and major life transitions. Denise uses straightforward guidance to help people find calmer ways to cope.
With 15 years of experience, she draws on several practical approaches. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change now and which small steps will make a difference.
Background and approach
Denise prioritizes clear communication, skills practice, and realistic goals over jargon or long lectures. Her style is warm and direct. She listens first, then works with each person to set short-term goals and track progress.
Common tools include mindfulness exercises, behavior-focused techniques, and skills to manage strong emotions like anger or panic. Denise works in Tennessee as a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW. She blends client-centered conversations with structured techniques when those are helpful.
People who are juggling caregiving, changes in midlife, or work stress often find this combination useful. Sessions cover a wide range of concerns such as self-esteem, grief, ADHD-related struggles, bipolar mood management, and coping with isolation. The focus is on practical strategies that can be used between sessions to make daily life more manageable and less overwhelming.

Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It helps when someone needs to talk through what matters most and to discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can help with anger and relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily challenges, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. Plans are revised as progress is made so people can find what actually helps them in real life.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine. Video calls allow face-to-face work for skills practice and conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or quick coping reminders between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can continue around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
