01About Denise
Dr. Denise Finney helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, grief, or life changes. She writes plainly and listens carefully so clients can talk about what matters most.
Dr. Finney holds a Doctorate in Counseling Studies and practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, in Georgia. She draws on 35 years in counseling, working with individuals in both one-on-one and group settings.
That experience informs short-term problem solving and longer conversations about coping and emotional recovery.
Background and approach
People come to her for help with depression, managing strong emotions, compassion fatigue, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD. Her usual approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and find small, doable steps forward.
These methods are adapted to each person’s story and needs. Dr. Finney pays attention to multicultural concerns and how prejudice or discrimination can affect well-being.
She also supports people who want to build more self-love and stronger coping habits. Her style centers on listening and helping clients feel more capable between sessions. Clients in Georgia can expect straightforward sessions that focus on real-life choices and measurable steps.
The goal is clearer thinking, better day-to-day coping, and practical ways to handle stressful moments.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Finney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then work on practical changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-oriented and brief, focusing on small steps and what works now to move a person toward their goals.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped before, and how they prefer to work. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow fuller conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates or get support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to stick with therapy while managing busy days or unpredictable routines.
