Known for a compassionate, caring, and non-judgmental stance, Dr. Denise Tran -Miles embraces differences and works collaboratively to support clients in reaching their objectives. Her clinical work includes cognitive and behavioral therapies as well as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), offered in individual sessions to address trauma, anxiety, depression, and other concerns.

She has worked in the mental health field for 18 years across multiple levels of care and with varied populations. Her academic training includes a Doctor in Psychology (PsyD) earned in 2019 from California Southern University, a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs completed in 2009, and a Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Science with an emphasis in Elementary Education from Metropolitan State University of Denver awarded in 2015.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support

Dr. Denise Tran -Miles integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet each client’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than avoiding them - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the relationship and the client's own resources, offering a warm, empathetic environment that supports self-exploration and personal growth - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem and improving relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mood concerns - it is practical and skills-based for many daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Denise Tran -Miles works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. That partnership helps tailor sessions to each person’s unique needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, enabling consistent access to licensed professionals from varied locations and schedules. These remote options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for ongoing work.
