Dr. Denise Tran -Miles , LPC

Dr. Denise Tran -Miles frames healing as an empowering, purpose-driven process that helps people move toward the life they value. She focuses on educating, encouraging, and empowering clients so they can make practical, positive decisions that align with their goals and personal values.

Known for a compassionate, caring, and non-judgmental approach, she embraces each person’s differences and partners with them to pursue meaningful change. Her work integrates cognitive and behavioral strategies alongside Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address trauma, anxiety, depression, and related concerns.

Dr. Tran -Miles has worked across levels of care within the mental health field for 18 years. She earned a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) from California Southern University in 2019, a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs in 2009, and a Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Science with an emphasis in Elementary Education from Metropolitan State University of Denver in 2015. She is also a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a credential that indicates specialized training and state licensure to provide counseling services.

Her practice addresses a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, identity and intimacy-related challenges, eating and body image struggles, parenting and career transitions, and care for caregivers. She draws professional inspiration from the words of Maya Angelou: "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style."

Approaches for Online Therapy and How They Help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in clarifying their values and taking committed action toward what matters, helping with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching acceptance and mindfulness-based strategies. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a warm, empathetic relationship in which the therapist offers understanding and unconditional positive regard, which can be especially helpful for clients working through identity, relationship, or self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Denise Tran -Miles collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will consider what feels most useful and adapt strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support when schedules or circumstances change. Licensed professionals can deliver the same evidence-informed approaches through these formats, helping clients move forward from wherever they are.
