01About Denise
Dr. Denise Tran -Miles works from a blend of practical, client-centered methods that help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She brings two decades of clinical experience and a calm, direct style to sessions.
Many people come for help with depression, relationship or intimacy concerns, grief, parenting stress, or career strain. Sessions are focused on clear goals and everyday skills that can be used between meetings. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas are added when stronger emotion regulation skills are needed. Sessions emphasize understanding thoughts and feelings, then trying simple experiments to see what works in daily life. Denise holds a Doctor of Psychology degree and a Master of Arts in Community Counseling.
She is also a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. Her training and 20 years of work in mental health include supporting people affected by trauma and complex stressors. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental.
She helps people identify values, set small goals, and build practical coping tools. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change. People who reach out often want help with self-esteem, burnout, ADHD-related struggles, eating and body image concerns, or caregiving stress.
Denise aims to teach concrete skills while honoring each person's experience and strengths.

04Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn small steps to live by those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it focuses on action rather than getting stuck on thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides tools for regulating strong emotions and improving interpersonal skills, which can help with intense mood swings, relationship strain, and emotion-driven behaviors.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, symptoms, and day-to-day needs. That might mean starting with ACT to identify values, then using CBT tools to test new habits, or adding DBT skills when emotion regulation is a priority.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text allow brief exchanges, progress tracking, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
