Counseling Practice – Dr. Denise Lennon, LMHC
Jamestown, New York is home to the private practice of Dr. Denise Lennon, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) credentialed with an Ed.D. in Counseling Psychology. Twenty-five years of clinical work inform her approach to treating individuals across a wide age span, from children and adolescents through adulthood, with conditions ranging from mild to severe. The practice applies multiple evidence-informed frameworks in building treatment plans that adapt alongside each client’s progress.
The therapeutic methods available include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Behavioral Therapy, Family/Marital Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Eclectic approaches that combine elements from multiple modalities as clinical needs shift over time. Presenting concerns addressed by the practice include anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, relationship difficulties, couples concerns, child and adolescent challenges, coping skills development, family conflict, grief and loss, and mindfulness-based wellness. Populations served include individual adults, couples, children, and adolescents.
Dr. Lennon’s stated therapeutic philosophy centers on forming a trusting clinical relationship built from sincerity, honesty, genuine empathy, and a consistently nonjudgmental stance toward each client’s lived experience. The practice foregrounds clients’ existing strengths and works to help individuals move toward, rather than away from, the fears and obstacles that arise during the healing process. Client readiness and personal agency are treated as foundational to progress rather than secondary considerations. The practice describes this orientation as one of steady encouragement through what the clinician characterizes as an honest and supportive therapeutic partnership.
Session formats include telehealth appointments available to qualifying clients. The practice accepts insurance through Aetna, Independent Health, Lyra, and United Healthcare. New clients are currently being accepted. The combination of individual, couples, family, and child-and-adolescent counseling under one clinician’s scope reflects the breadth of Dr. Lennon’s training, which spans both developmental and relational clinical domains. Contact is available by phone at 716.397.1727, and appointment requests along with ongoing access to scheduling and records can be managed through the client portal on the practice website. The office is located in Jamestown, NY 14701.
