About Denise

Dr. Denise Tran -Miles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also addresses codependency, ADHD, grief, and career and parenting challenges.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-based ideas to help people notice what matters to them and take small, workable steps toward those values. She also draws on client-centered and existential perspectives to help people clarify meaning and make choices that fit their lives.

Sessions typically include clear, concrete skills and hands-on ways to manage intense emotions and day-to-day stress. Denise emphasizes teaching tools that a person can use between meetings, such as stress management techniques, behavioral experiments, and communication practice. Her work also includes attention to attachment patterns, boundary setting, and problems that arise when someone repeatedly puts others first.

She has provided care across levels of service over two decades and combines that experience with straightforward clinical methods. Her training history includes a master’s degree in community counseling from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs and a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) from California Southern University.

How sessions work

How Denise applies ACT and CBT online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, concrete steps toward those values while learning to notice unhelpful thoughts. ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and patterns like people-pleasing that get in the way of chosen priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and learning new ways to respond to triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Denise will discuss goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan based on how an approach fits with a person's needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, client-centered conversations, or a mix is most useful.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow for exercises that translate directly into daily life, such as practicing boundary-setting conversations or using behavioral experiments between meetings. Licensed professionals can guide which session rhythm and tools will best support each person's goals.
