About Denise
Dr. Denise Tran -Miles is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Colorado with 20 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and parenting challenges. She works with people navigating relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, career stress, ADHD, and other life transitions. Sessions aim to support practical decisions and steady progress toward personal values and goals.
Dr. Tran -Miles uses a mix of well-established therapies to match what each person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy is part of how she listens and reflects so people can clarify what matters to them.
Her work with trauma and grief includes approaches meant to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and feelings while building skills to manage reactions. For parenting and family-related concerns she focuses on concrete strategies to reduce conflict and improve communication for the individual seeking help. She also addresses issues like body image, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue with practical coping tools.
Her background includes graduate training in community counseling and decades in multiple levels of care. That experience shapes a straightforward, evidence-oriented approach. Sessions often combine skill teaching, behavior experiments, and reflective conversation.
Dr. Tran -Miles asks people to set clear goals and revisits progress regularly. She outlines steps clients can take between sessions, such as brief exercises and small behavioral changes, so work continues outside the appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can help with parenting stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses practical exercises to test new ways of responding. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Tran -Miles will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, and client-centered listening across sessions and adjusting techniques as progress is reviewed.
The practical benefit of online sessions is making therapy fit into daily life. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. When arranging sessions, consider what will make it easier to attend regularly - a shorter check-in during a break, video when face-to-face conversation helps, or audio if bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care and to work around work, school, and caregiving schedules.
