About Denise
Denise Snyder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 31 years of experience in New York. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, anger, relationship strain, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, focused on meeting people where they are and building trust first.
Across a long career Denise has worked in schools, the mental health system, an employee assistance program, an in-patient alcohol rehab, and the foster care system.
Background and approach
Those settings gave her experience with loss and grief, eating and food-related issues, postpartum depression, and mood disorders. She also supports people dealing with body image, commitment and communication problems, social anxiety, and young adult concerns. Denise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including solution-focused work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and family systems ideas.
In sessions she helps people set concrete goals, try new behaviors, and measure small changes that add up. She emphasizes respect and collaboration while acknowledging how uncomfortable change can feel. She draws on both professional experience and life as a spouse and parent to relate to practical challenges.
Denise believes people are the experts on their own stories and that identifying strengths is a key part of moving forward. She encourages small, manageable steps toward clearer goals and improved day-to-day functioning. Outside of work she enjoys hiking and kayaking, reads often, and cares for two rescue dogs including a retired greyhound.

Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Denise draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors that reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and anger. These techniques focus on practical skills you can use between sessions to shift reactions and improve daily functioning.She also uses solution-focused approaches that concentrate on finding small, concrete steps toward the changes you want. This work highlights what already goes well and builds on those strengths to create workable plans for relationship or stress-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and she works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs and goals. Together the client and Denise assess what feels helpful, adjust strategies over time, and prioritize the methods that fit the client’s preferences and pace.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and keep progress moving forward.
