More about me

Licensing: MSW, LICSW Years in Practice: 6 State: Massachusetts

Hello! Thank you for visiting my page.

My name is Denise and I have worked in the mental health field for almost ten years.

I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and children, and have worked with a wide variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and other life difficulties.

I am especially interested in working with adolescents, but I am excited to have the opportunity to work with adults as well. Most of the clients in my in-person practice are adults. I am particularly interested in doing message-based and live chat counseling.

My counseling style is a combination of psychodynamic approaches (talking about emotions and working through difficult experiences using traditional "talk therapy" type techniques) and cognitive-behavioral approaches (looking at the relationship between emotions, behaviors, and thoughts, and how influencing one can make us feel better or worse emotionally). I use more of one or the other depending on the person's preference.

Much research has shown that one of the most important factors in how much a person benefits from counseling is the quality of the relationship between the person and the counselor. So I am glad that you took the time to read my profile and invite you to message me if you have any questions. If you feel like we may be a good fit for each other, I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

The best decision I made. She understand you and help you understand when you explain something that doesnt make sense to you she will interpret it for my better understanding. And thats the most I love about it and her. She is a huge help.

Denise is wonderful, she comes in with a non-judgmental viewpoint and clearly knows her stuff. She has talked me through many of my OCD episodes and trauma, and works with my brain to soothe intrusive thoughts

Denise is so great. After about a month of messaging with her I feel so much more in control of my emotions. She is so understanding and easy to talk to, even when I text her novels! She breaks everything down into manageable bite size pieces and helps you tackle your issues little by little so you’re not overwhelmed. Or even if you are overwhelmed, she makes sure you know that is okay! She is phenomenal, highly recommend!

Overall

Denise offers really reasonable advice and action items to work on. She is more than just a person to rant to. She tries to fully understand your situation before offering help. She also never makes you feel like your problem is too minuscule to focus on.

Overall

Denise is absolutely amazing. I knew the second I read her profile that I would work well with her, but she's exceeded all expectations. She's a knowledgeable, kind person who takes time to touch on everything, even if you send it in a disorganized mess of a message. I'm so thankful to have her as my counselor, and look forward to continuing my sessions with her.
