Denise Kidd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 22 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and coping with life changes. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in practical skills.
She aims to help people find clearer ways forward when life feels overwhelming. Denise has worked across many settings, including community health centers, substance use treatment programs, employee assistance services, and hospital mental health units.
Background and approach
That range means she is comfortable helping people who are juggling recovery, work pressures, and family concerns. She draws on methods that help with thoughts, behaviors, and emotional regulation. Sessions are interactive and solution-minded.
Denise uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people live according to their values and make steady changes. When trauma is part of the story, she incorporates targeted interventions that address painful memories while keeping pace with each person’s readiness.
Motivational interviewing is used when making changes feels hard or when addiction is involved. Dialectical skills can help with intense emotions and impulsivity. Denise emphasizes respect for cultural differences and pays attention to how family history and blended family dynamics affect current struggles.
She encourages people to build on strengths they already have. The focus is on small, manageable steps that improve daily functioning and reduce distress. Her practical goals include reducing panic and anxiety, managing mood swings, improving communication, and addressing substance use patterns.
She invites clients to work together to set clear goals and to measure progress over time.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online work
Denise commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change thought and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety and mood problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that align with those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaning.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional intensity or impulsivity gets in the way of daily life. DBT skills teach practical tools for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships. These approaches are chosen to match the problem at hand and the person’s goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences, then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process with room to adjust based on what helps most.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging offer short check-ins, quick reflections, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different ways of connecting as needs change.
