About Denis
Denis Kitchen is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and struggles with self-esteem. He also supports clients dealing with relationship concerns, grief, addiction, career strain, parenting challenges, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. His style is direct and honest.
He tells people up front that change takes work and can be painful. Sessions are a place to ask hard questions, name difficult feelings, and test new ways of being.
Background and approach
Denis encourages practical steps alongside personal reflection. Denis integrates existential ideas with grounded therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means conversations about meaning and responsibility sit beside concrete skill-building for emotion regulation and behavior change.
He aims to strengthen resilience through both insight and practice. People can expect sessions that move between exploring values and trying out new patterns. Denis invites clients to face awkward or taboo topics without judgement.
He uses short exercises, real-life assignments, and plain talk to make progress feel manageable. With three years of experience and a New York LMHC credential, Denis practices with an emphasis on honesty and effort. He offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.
Sessions are provided in English and international clients are accepted.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Existential Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and face big questions about purpose, freedom, and responsibility. It can be useful for feelings of emptiness, major life changes, or struggles with meaning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying values and taking committed action while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings; this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and persistent avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and emphasizes empathy and nonjudgmental listening to build trust and self-understanding.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Denis will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits each person's needs and preferences. Together the client and therapist decide whether more meaning-focused exploration, skills-based work, or a mix of both is best.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or fewer visual demands are needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on the therapeutic goals.
