About Denise
Dr. Denise Finney welcomes people seeking practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and other life transitions.
Background and approach
With a focus on helping clients build skills and gain clarity, she emphasizes collaborative work that centers on each person's concerns and goals. She holds a Doctorate in Counseling Studies and practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia, bringing 35 years of experience in individual and group counseling.
Her practice addresses depression, self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, family issues, and multicultural concerns including prejudice and discrimination. Dr.
Finney values the power of attentive listening and believes that clients already carry important strengths and stories that therapy can help amplify. Using an adaptable approach, she commonly applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside solution-focused techniques to tailor care to each client.
This blend supports identifying thought and behavior patterns while also developing concrete strategies to move forward. Dr.
Finney aims to equip clients with skills they can use beyond sessions and to foster greater self-love and resilience over time.
Online Approaches Grounded in Practical Strategies
Dr. Denise Finney commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop new behavior strategies; this approach is often applied for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related concerns. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on strengths and small, actionable changes that move a person toward their goals rather than dwelling on problems.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they assess what feels practical and sustainable, and adjust strategies as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to allow flexible scheduling and access from different locations within Georgia. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions using brief messages or chat when appropriate. The combination of focused therapeutic methods and flexible formats aims to support steady, usable progress.
