More about Denise

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW, LISW-CP, LICSW

Hi! My name is Denise and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of North Carolina and Florida as well as a Licensed Independent Social Worker- CP in the state of South Carolina. I graduated from Norfolk State University's Graduate School of Social Work in 2000, concentrating in Family Systems Practice and Hampton University with a Bachelors of Arts in 1995. I have been a therapist for over 15 years with degrees in psychology and clinical social work, as stated above. I specialize in mood and adjustment disorders such as depression and anxiety as well as trauma associated disorders, but have worked with a variety of disorders dealing with, but not limited to behaviors, relationships and grief. I currently work with adults, children and families. I enjoy working with people and bring my genuine self to the work that I do. I am honest, open and direct, but warm and encouraging at the same time. I love to see the humor in different situations where some might not expect. I believe that humor can work in therapy when needed. I provide support from the initial session and throughout the entire counseling experience. I am here to work together with you to get you to the life that you want for you and your loved ones. I incorporate goal-setting for your mental health, personal and professional life. My counseling approach is client centered and I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Stages of Change as therapeutic interventions that will help you with the issues you struggle with.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Denise has been truly amazing. Given me so many tools to succeed. Knew exactly what I needed. Listened without judgment. Always a helpful part of my journey. Asked me the tough questions. Gave me sincerity. I felt connected. Not like the typical, I don’t know if I can trust you feeling, that I’ve always felt with a counselor. I have truly appreciated all of the support and encouragement she has provided to me. And she is completely accessible! Hands down, the best counseling experience I’ve ever had!

Denise is the best at what she does. She was my first therapist and was extremely attentive to what I wanted to get out of therapy, and gave me the space to come to certain realizations on my own. Never during our sessions did she impose any of her views onto me, and was always supportive with every issue that I brought up.

I think Denise has been great so far. I was specifically looking for a sexual trauma and anxiety specialist. Denise told me right off the bat that sexual trauma isn't her expertise but anxiety and trauma is what she works well with. But she said she could help me with my other issues and lead up to that. I like that she's right to the point and doesn't waste your time. I've decided to stay with her and work thru my other issues and then reassess to see if I really need to move on to a specialist..
