Denise Warnack

Denise Warnack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She has three years of experience listed in her current practice and several prior years working with substance use and mental health in a community agency setting. Denise aims to help people find motivation and practical ways to move toward change.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on setting small goals and building skills that fit into everyday life. Denise draws on familiar therapy methods to reduce distress and improve coping over time.

Her work has included people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. She also helps with anxiety, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges related to self-esteem, career, and life transitions.

Additionally, Denise lists experience with ADHD, compassion fatigue, seasonal affective disorder, personality disorders, and sexual assault and abuse. She notes an interest in veteran and armed forces issues as part of her focus areas.

Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. Practical steps are emphasized in therapy so people leave with clear next steps and skills they can use between meetings.

How therapy approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can explore what matters to them; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at specific thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safe ways to address painful memories and reactions, helping people build coping tools and reduce triggers.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Denise will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative planning means the approach can shift as needs change over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats aren’t specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people join from different locations within the therapist's allowed region. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches for remote visits so skills practice and goal setting continue between sessions.
