Dr. Denise Finney , LPC

Dr. Denise Finney holds a Doctorate Degree in Counseling Studies and practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia and South Carolina. She combines formal training with membership in professional organizations such as the National Association for Mental Health Counselors and the American Counselors Association to inform a thoughtful, experienced approach to care.

With more than three decades of experience in individual and group counseling, she addresses a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, anger management, stress, self-esteem challenges, family issues, grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also brings attention to multicultural concerns, the impact of prejudice and discrimination, and the work of fostering self-love.

Her primary therapeutic lens is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the relationship between thoughts and behaviors, and she adapts additional methods to tailor treatment to each person. Dr. Finney emphasizes the power of careful listening and believes that every person has a story worth hearing. She uses her listening skills and clinical experience to help people build skills and feel more empowered beyond therapy sessions.

Dr. Finney accepts new clients and works collaboratively to create practical, individualized strategies that reflect each client’s goals and life context.

Approach Driven Online Therapy with Flexible Access

Dr. Denise Finney frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a structured approach that explores how thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors interact and aims to teach practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress, and anger. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on clients' strengths and on short term, goal oriented steps to resolve present concerns and build forward momentum.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Dr. Finney works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions offer a flexible way to access care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when circumstances change, while still allowing licensed professionals and therapists to focus on effective, evidence informed work with clients.
