About Kenneth

Kenneth Denny is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 35 years of experience. He sees adults for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and parenting problems, and issues tied to identity and grief. He also lists work with LGBTQIA+ people and a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds.

He uses straight talk and a relaxed manner in sessions. He blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas, EMDR, and solution-focused steps when they fit the situation.

In practice he helps people name what drives their reactions. He looks at thoughts, feelings, and behavior together. He helps develop simple skills to manage anger, stress, and mood shifts. He also supports people facing major life changes like divorce, relocation, or retirement.

Kenneth has long experience with family-related challenges, including blended family issues, co-parenting conflicts, and family of origin patterns. He works with fathers on parenting strains and with people navigating stepfamily roles and loyalty conflicts. He addresses communication problems and the practical steps that reduce everyday friction.

Sessions focus on short-term strategies and longer-term patterns. He uses education, behavioral experiments, and reflective work to build a personal toolkit. Clients leave with clear actions to try between sessions and a plan to track progress.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. It helps people who need a space to sort priorities, talk through role changes, and clarify what matters in a blended household.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides straightforward tools for managing anxiety, anger, and repetitive negative thinking that often show up in co-parenting or stepfamily stress.

EMDR addresses memories and strong reactions tied to trauma. When appropriate, it is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic recollections and the symptoms tied to them.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experience, and practical needs, then recommend which methods to focus on. This is a collaborative decision and can change as therapy progresses.

Session logistics should fit everyday life. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, avoid travel, or use shorter check-ins when time is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and EMDR protocols to remote sessions while helping clients apply them between meetings.
