Dena’s therapeutic style integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy, combining evidence-based interventions with insight-oriented work to support emotional wellness, resilience, and long-term growth. She believes therapy should be both goal-oriented and solution-focused while remaining grounded in authenticity, empathy, and practical support.
