About Denise
Dr. Denise Tran -Miles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 20 years of experience. She helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship and family concerns. Her work also covers grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and body image concerns, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD.
She uses clear, evidence-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Sessions may include practical skills practice and focused conversations about choices and values.
Her background spans work across levels of care and many kinds of client concerns. Over two decades she has supported people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment worries, and challenges tied to aging. She also addresses issues like codependency, communication problems, control issues, commitment anxiety, and blended family dynamics.
Her approach emphasizes learning new ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings, testing different strategies, and using personal values to guide decisions. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with time for problem-solving and skills practice. Clients are invited to work collaboratively on small experiments between sessions.
She works in English and practices in Colorado. Pricing varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior, then testing small changes. Online sessions can use structured exercises, thought records, and homework to practice different responses between meetings. ACT helps people clarify values and take committed steps in line with those values while accepting difficult feelings; it often uses brief exercises and values-based goals that fit well into short weekly check-ins. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective and uses reflective listening to clarify concerns and strengths, giving space for concerns such as grief, identity, or life transitions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as new strategies are tried and adjusted based on what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, video meetings when face-to-face interaction is preferred, or phone sessions when internet bandwidth is limited. These practical options can reduce travel time and help people practice skills in real-world contexts without changing the clinical focus.
