Denise Kidd, LPC

Denise Kidd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 22 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, communication problems, and mood disorders.

She has worked across community health centers, substance use treatment programs, employee assistance services, and hospital mental health departments. That range informs a practical approach to problems that often overlap between mental health and recovery from substance use.

Denise favors clear, interactive sessions that identify what is not working and then try different ways to respond. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses acceptance-based strategies, skills from dialectical behavior work, EMDR for trauma when appropriate, and motivational interviewing to support change.

Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills, short-term problem solving, and building routines that reduce stress and impulsive responses. She pays attention to cultural factors and family of origin issues that affect relationships and coping. Practical topics she often addresses include addiction recovery, panic attacks, financial stress, and midlife transitions.

People meet Denise to work on specific goals such as reducing panic symptoms, managing cravings, improving communication, or coping with grief. She collaborates with each person to set steps that fit daily life and to track progress over time.
