Denise Adeline Muse, LCSW

Denise Adeline Muse is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and teenagers who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood disorders, addictions, and relationship or parenting concerns. Denise aims to create a caring, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

Her approach is collaborative and strengths-based. She centers conversations on the person in front of her and uses practical techniques to help people manage symptoms and make concrete changes. Sessions often focus on skills you can use between meetings, such as mindfulness, behavior changes, or clearer communication.

Denise draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, and client-centered methods. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, when appropriate for trauma-related concerns. Her style blends short-term strategies with attention to deeper patterns that affect relationships and wellbeing.

She has particular experience supporting people with grief, bipolar and depressive symptoms, ADHD, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. Denise also helps clients facing life transitions, chronic illness, eating or sleeping problems, and identity questions. Her work includes attention to attachment, abandonment, and intimacy-related issues.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Denise communicates in English and provides care within Tennessee. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Denise Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Denise uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that improve daily functioning. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that align with what matters. ACT can help when worry, avoidance, or difficult emotions get in the way of meaningful goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That process can include trying techniques from different approaches and checking in about what helps.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping continuity when schedules change. If you need to coordinate sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, online options can make scheduling easier.
