Therapy with Denine has restored my faith in therapy. She is kind, listens, and she’s honest. She provides a different point of view helping me to see the bigger picture and not just my tunnel vision. Talking with Denine makes me feel like I’ve known her my whole life. While it is just therapy, since I’ve started the week’s that we don’t meet doesn’t feel right. I always look forward to our sessions. Overall, I am happy that I’ve started using BetterHelp and even happier that I was paired with Denine. Thank you so much for helping me to get through my difficult season.

More about Denine
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am licensed in California with 8 years of professional work experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist working with children, youth, adults and families that have been challenged with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, life crisis, family conflicts, among others. I also have over 30 years of professional experience in helping clients with managing stress and anxiety, conflict resolution, family conflicts, parenting concerns, parent-child relationships, low motivation, self-esteem building, and confidence building.
My therapy style is welcoming and interactive. I believe in being upfront and honest while treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, client-centered, narrative therapy, humanistic, and psychodynamic. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I believe that you are the expert of your own story and that you have many strengths that you may not have discovered or developed yet. Together I will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you or blocking you from meeting your fullest potential. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

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.
