Denise KiddLPC

Denise Kidd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with more than two decades of experience in behavioral health and recovery services. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, grief, and depression. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she works with clients who want practical changes and clearer direction.

She has provided individual therapy in community health centers, substance use treatment programs, employee assistance programs, and hospital mental health services. That range informs how she adapts sessions to different life situations and practical needs.

Denise describes her style as solution focused and collaborative. She listens for a person's strengths and builds on them, while offering skills and education that fit each person's goals. She brings sensitivity to multicultural and cross-cultural factors in sessions.

Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical skills, EMDR for trauma work, and motivational interviewing when addiction or change is the focus. She blends these tools to help with symptom relief, improved function, or clearer life direction.

Denise aims to meet clients where they are in their journey and to work together on achievable goals. She encourages people to name what matters to them and to use their personal strengths to move toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Denise uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical experiments to change behavior and mood. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings; it often helps people who want more meaning or direction. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method that some people find helpful for processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional hold.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Denise will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The plan can change as progress is made, and decisions are made collaboratively to match what the client needs and wants.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work when schedules or location make in-person sessions difficult. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice so they work in remote sessions as well as in person.
