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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Denise is the best! She is super helpful and amazingly sweet!
I have met with Ms. Denise Mason twice and have felt quite encouraged and cared for. She offers exceptional expertise while listening intuitively.
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!
Right from the beginning Denise has been a life changer. My ability to talk to her and message her has been a tremendous help with my journey. Her responses have been right on for me. She is helping me frame what I need to do with my life in real and honest terms. Many thanks!
Denise is good at identifying the underline cause of what you say and or how you feel. She listens closely. She is respectful and always available when and if I need her. She offers me many ways to communicate with her while continuously reminding me that she can be reached any time. That is dedication and I am GLAD she is my counselor. I appreciate her hard work and dedication to me and her job!
Denise has been professional and engaging and willing to address specific concerns. She has my highest recommendation.
Denise has been great thusly.
Really understands me and helps me learn better coping mechanisms.
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.
Denise is very supportive, understanding and constructive in her therapy style. She gives gentle guidance while still allowing me to lead our conversations. She has helped me challenge some of my negative thoughts and allowed me to unleash my full potential
My therapist Denise is absolutely fantastic. I feel comfortable talking with her and she has a great proactive approach to solving problems and growing in situations
Denise Mason has been a wonderful therapist and has helped me out tremendously since I began video sessions with her. She's taught me new techniques to control my anxiety which have worked wonders. I appreciate all her help and advice.
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..
Denise is such a wonderful counselor if I can give her a rating it’s definitely a 10/10 she is so genuine and very helpful. I felt comfortable talking to her about my traumas and she has helped me navigate through issues I am working on.
Just started sessions with Denise but I can already tell how beneficial and affective it’s going to be! She has a very calm and understanding personality which makes it easier to open up to
So far so good I like the session we have had so far and the worksheets she sent me were good too.
I have been in counseling with Denise for several months now and I must say that she has really helped me in dealing with the issues that I have had. She listens and give great feedback and options for resolving my issues. Denise has really made me feel comfortable from the start. The goals she has set for me has given me more confidence in myself to move forward. Thank You Denise for helping me to fulfill my obstacles and I am looking forward to our sessions in the future.
Denise is a legend. The best experience I've had in counseling. She knows how to ask the right questions to get me to think about my issues in a new, more healthful way. She always provides support , but also knows when I need to be pushed to approach a situation from a different perspective. In just a few months, Denise was helped me to begin living a healthier, happier life.
Denise is extremely empathetic and gives fabulous suggestions to enhance my life. She is a wonderful sounding board and truly cares about my concerns, giving me great suggestions and ideas to help overcome my anxieties. I strongly recommend her as a counselor.
Denise is lovely and very supportive. Really let’s you do sessions the way you’d like to and has a plethora of resources to assist clients. It’s been a pleasant time working with her.
Denise is the best!
Denise has been very helpful to me, I am incredibly goal-oriented, and she has been asking the right questions to keep me considering things more deeply. I have enjoyed our sessions, and the work she gives is practical and useful.
Denise has been wonderful. She is great at helping me work through my grief, and validates my emotions when I am struggling. I've never had counseling before this, but I highly recommend Denise!
Denise is like a mindful big sister. She is humble and listens with compassion and she also does a very good job at holding you accountable. The worksheets she provides are tailored to your needs and your goals and thus makes you feel clear about the life you want to create. If you want a great therapist who gives helpful work, Denise is it
Denise's approach is extremely warm, down-to-earth and with humour - at times it's been like talking to a friend. Very much recommended.
She is everything I've been looking for in a therapist . I'm so happy I found better help and her.
Denise Mason has been great helping me to set healthy habits to improve my mental health and handle relationships. She's also been accommodating to my preference in communication methods. I'm glad I took the step of reaching out for help!
It has only been a month, but Denise has been very helpful.
She is amazing
Denise is equal parts down to earth and professional. In the short time that we’ve been having our sessions my family and I have noticed a positive change in my attitude and behavior. She’s been especially helpful in providing me with the tools needed to understand and handle my anxiety, stress and emotions.
Denise understood my struggles and was always great at listening to me. She always gave insightful thoughts about what I would say and helped me to foster healthier thinking. She helped me set goals and encouraged me to do more. It was really great to have that support and someone who listened and cared about you
I really appreciated my sessions with Denise. She is easy to speak to and has tools that helped me to work through my stuff. I get to keep using those tools which is so important to continual healing. Thank you!!!
I started counseling with Denise to help me deal with some increased stressors which led to me being anxious and depressed. Her kind nature and no judgment style made it easy to speak with her. She offered constructive solutions to some of the issues I was going through, and help me develop skills to deal with stress in the future. I highly recommend her.
Denise has been very helpful to me during this first month of counseling. I look forward to growing and learning more about myself.
Denise is extremely attentive, caring, and genuine. You can tell she’s experienced in the field.
Denise has been so helpful in my mental health journey. She really understands me and is so incredibly knowledgeable and her experience is noticeable. She always puts me at ease.
Denise has been there for me every step of my journey to becoming a less anxious person.
She’s patient and a kind listener, and she encourages you to be your best self.
From the first call with Denise I have felt at ease. Denise is open, non-judgmental and I am already benefitting from the support she has offered bother verbally and with the additional documents she's shared. I would highly recommend Denise to anyone suffering from anxiety or struggling with repetitive unhelpful behaviors. Thanks Denise!
I felt connected with her. She understands my goals and encourages me to do more things. She broadens my scope on my problems and makes me understand more better. I love the continuous support. Sometimes you need to know that there is someone there for you.
