Denise Black Winston

Denise Black Winston is an LPC who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She brings a calm, straightforward approach and aims to make therapy a practical space for problem solving and emotional support. Denise speaks English and practices in Georgia.

She trained in social work and later earned a master’s degree in professional counseling before becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Denise spent many years in child welfare work across several states before shifting to counseling in 2014. That background shapes how she sees family stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiver strain.

In sessions she keeps things simple and direct. People can expect to talk through what’s most pressing, try concrete strategies for coping, and set small, manageable goals. She draws on Client-Centered methods to listen and build trust, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to address thinking patterns and practical steps forward.

Denise also supports people dealing with addictions, grief, codependency, and social anxiety. She often helps those struggling with self-esteem, motivation, isolation, or family problems. Her goal is to help clients gain tools they can use between sessions.

Her counseling style is collaborative and goal-oriented. Denise aims to help people strengthen self-love and resilience while navigating transitions. Prospective clients in Georgia who prefer English can use the Start Therapy button to begin the matching process.

How her approaches guide online care

Denise uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting connection where clients feel heard and respected. That approach focuses on understanding each person's experience and following their priorities in session.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress and anxiety. CBT offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new coping skills between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps toward the changes a person wants. It helps set clear short-term goals and track progress in a concrete way.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Denise will listen to your goals and preferences, explain these methods, and collaborate on a plan that fits what you need. She aims to match tools and pacing to each person's situation rather than applying one fixed method.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them keep therapy consistent while managing day-to-day responsibilities.
