About Denise

Denise Marie is a licensed clinician with 25 years of practice who blends evidence-based methods with a client-centered stance to support people facing a wide range of life challenges. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and brings extensive experience in counseling, substance abuse treatment, coaching, and clinical supervision.

Background and approach

Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions, trauma and grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and ADHD among other concerns. Her style emphasizes a personalized, collaborative process that draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment techniques, dialectical behavior elements, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing.

Denise aims to help clients build practical skills, increase awareness, and reconnect with their values so they can manage symptoms, improve communication, and navigate life transitions. She practices in Virginia and offers a range of online session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

With a focus on compassion and respect, Denise supports clients through recovery, growth, and difficult changes while attending to co-occurring issues such as codependency, impulsivity, and substance use. Prospective clients who prefer English-language services can begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Integrative Approaches and Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or emotions are present; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and issues involving motivation and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for mood disorders, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and managing symptoms related to ADHD. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and self-compassion, offering tools to reduce reactivity, enhance emotional regulation, and support coping with trauma and grief.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time so the treatment plan fits the individual rather than applying a single fixed model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to schedule care around work, family, or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice skills between sessions while accessing licensed professionals from wherever the client is located in Virginia.
