Dr. Denise Finney

Dr. Denise Finney welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or life transitions. She explains things in straightforward terms and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Her aim is to help people feel more in control of strong emotions and handle everyday challenges with clearer thinking.

Dr. Finney holds a Doctorate Degree in Counseling Studies and practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, in Georgia. She has 35 years of counseling experience that includes both individual and group work. Over that time she has helped people dealing with depression, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD concerns, and issues tied to self-esteem and cultural stressors.

Her main approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps toward a preferred outcome. These methods are mixed to match what a person needs and prefers in therapy.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Dr. Finney emphasizes listening and helping people build skills they can use outside the therapy room. She prioritizes a respectful, culturally aware stance when talking about prejudice, multicultural stress, and self-love.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to availability. The process is meant to be straightforward and focused on finding useful strategies for change.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Dr. Finney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small pieces so people can try different ways of responding and measure what helps. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals, highlighting small changes that quickly improve everyday functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest CBT, solution-focused techniques, or a mix. Decisions are collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. They also let people use focused tools from home or another quieter space, practice skills in a familiar setting, and review strategies between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote appointments, helping people move toward clearer thinking and better emotional control.
