About Denise O Connor

Denise O Connor is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with more than seven years of clinical experience. She holds a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Lindsay Wilson College in Kentucky and has provided care in settings that include a community mental health center and the Veterans Health Administration.

Her practice is rooted in a person-centered philosophy that emphasizes evidence-based interventions chosen in collaboration with each client. She has experience treating depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and insomnia, and she blends approaches to meet individual needs rather than relying on a single method.

Denise commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Solution-Focused Therapy when addressing depression and anxiety, uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia for sleep difficulties, and applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop stronger emotion regulation skills. She favors focused, goal-oriented work with a limited number of sessions that allow progress to be tracked.

In practice she schedules live sessions during evening hours and throughout Saturdays and Sundays, and she typically responds to messages within 12 hours. Her approach aims to balance practical strategies with client-centered support to help people manage symptoms and navigate life changes.
