About Denise
Denise Adeline Muse is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, and ADHD among many other life challenges.
Background and approach
She welcomes adults and teenagers seeking a collaborative, strengths-based approach and draws on two decades of clinical experience to tailor care to each person's needs. Her style is client-centered and nonjudgmental, emphasizing practical skills alongside emotional processing.
Denise uses evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, EMDR, and mindfulness to address symptoms and patterns that interfere with daily life. She also supports concerns related to grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress.
Sessions combine compassionate listening with concrete strategies to build coping, communication, and resilience. Denise offers several online formats so clients can choose the way of working that fits their schedule and preferences, and she guides each person toward an approach aligned with their goals and values.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Denise integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and mindfulness skills to increase psychological flexibility and help clients live in line with what matters most to them.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address the lasting impact of traumatic memories, using structured protocols to reduce distress and improve emotional processing. These approaches are selected in collaboration with each client so the plan reflects presenting problems, personal goals, and comfort with the methods offered.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and daily life. This range of formats makes it easier to maintain regular care, revisit skills between sessions, and access therapy from anywhere in Tennessee. The therapist will discuss which format and therapeutic mix fit best during initial scheduling and ongoing work.
