What should a new client know about working with you?
I am Denise Spear, LPC Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia with a background in education. I strive to provide a warm and welcoming environment for all to thrive and help you become your most authentic self. My passion for helping others is always at the forefront, and I take pride in meeting you exactly where you are. My goal is to provide a safe space that is both validating and challenging that can assist you in reaching your full potential.
Throughout my career, I have had the experience and privilege of working with a diverse range of clients dealing with various mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and LGBTQ issues among others. I approach therapy from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) perspective with the ability to adjust to other modalities that proves best in meeting your goals and treating your mental health needs. By empowering you to understand and modify your thinking patterns, you and I can effectively and sustainably transform your life. My beliefs heavily align with that of Human Rights Campaign, and that is to ensure that not only every person but every LGBTQ+ person live free and openly. I am affirming, supportive, and understanding.
Outside of my dedication to providing mental health services, I enjoy traveling, hiking, shopping, interior design, and reading. Now that you know a little about me, let’s get started!

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve
