Kenneth Denny, LCSW, CSW

Kenneth Denny is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of experience helping people through major life transitions. He combines a straightforward, relaxed approach with practical tools to help clients manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and midlife concerns. He speaks English and works with people from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ individuals.

His sessions are conversational and direct. He uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits that reduce anxiety and depression.

He also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice reactions and calm strong emotions. For trauma-related concerns, he incorporates EMDR methods alongside psychodynamic thinking to look at old patterns that still cause pain. The approach is practical and goal-oriented rather than abstract.

Together with each client he builds a plan that is specific to their needs. That plan includes concrete tools for coping, clearer communication strategies, and steps to rebuild confidence. Common focus areas include parenting and family stress, career transitions, addiction concerns, grief, and questions about life purpose.

People who connect with him can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space and straightforward feedback. He frames therapy as teamwork where the client’s goals guide the work and progress is measured in real-life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kenneth uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters most to each person, offering reflective listening and support so clients can name their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and to build new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression. For trauma-related work he incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside broader psychodynamic ideas to address patterns that keep problems recurring.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help pick methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. Decisions are collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for different kinds of check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose sessions that focus on skill-building, emotional processing, or practical problem solving depending on what they want to accomplish.
