About Denise
Denise Hyland is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people dealing with anger, stress, and life changes. She speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth so clients can feel heard while they work on real problems.
She emphasizes helping people notice what is happening inside them and accept their current reality. From there she supports clients in changing thoughts, actions, and beliefs to produce more helpful results.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and oriented toward daily life, not just theory. Denise draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide the work. She also uses motivational interviewing and trauma-focused methods when those approaches fit a person's needs.
The techniques chosen depend on each person’s situation and goals. With five years of counseling experience, she brings a practical focus to common concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas listed include domestic violence, forgiveness, veteran and armed forces issues, personality disorders, and post-traumatic stress.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Denise encourages people who want a collaborative, no-nonsense approach to contact the service and complete the short matching questionnaire to get started.

Online approaches that meet you where you are
Denise commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to manage strong feelings and improve relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Denise will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend methods that fit. She adjusts tools and pacing so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided skills work. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, short reflections, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue progress between visits.
