Denyse Rehfeld, LMFT

Denyse Rehfeld is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Denyse aims to make therapy direct and understandable so people can use what they learn right away.

She blends practical tools with a warm, listening approach. Sessions emphasize skill-building for everyday challenges like panic attacks, communication problems, and changes in life circumstances. Denyse also supports people dealing with postpartum depression and post-traumatic stress.

Denyse favors methods that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down worries into manageable steps. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds, keeping each person’s goals in view.

Her work is collaborative and paced to the individual. She helps clients notice strengths and small wins while learning coping strategies for intense moments. Progress often comes from practicing skills between sessions and adjusting them to real-life situations.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. People who want to begin can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How Denyse’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of her. Denyse uses this approach to make sure each session follows the client’s pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks worries into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is helpful for anxiety, panic, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denyse collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs and preferences. She checks in as goals evolve and adjusts methods so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online formats make that collaboration easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction and real-time skill practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, journaling between sessions, or reaching out when thoughts are intense. These options provide flexibility and help people keep consistent progress without rearranging their whole day.
