About Denise

Denise Mitchell draws on nearly two decades of clinical experience to offer a collaborative, person-centered approach to therapy. She blends client-centered techniques with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused strategies to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Denise brings a calm, empathetic style that emphasizes practical skills, clearer thinking, and steps toward meaningful change. Trained with degrees in education and counseling and licensed in Maryland as MD, LCPC, LPC (MD LCPC LC7584, VA LPC 0701014350), she has worked extensively with adults and previously with younger clients starting at age nine.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and communication challenges, ADHD, self-esteem, anger, caregiver stress, career questions, and self-harm or suicidal ideation. She tailors treatment to each person's needs rather than relying on a single method.

Denise aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and supported while developing coping tools and problem-solving skills. She partners with clients to build individualized plans that reflect their goals and life circumstances, meeting people where they are and guiding gradual change.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and practical change

Denise commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and helping clients explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace; this approach is useful for issues like grief, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and general life transitions. She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is framed as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past to decide together which techniques to emphasize, and she adjusts the plan over time based on client feedback and progress.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting sessions into work, caregiving, or travel routines, and they allow therapists and clients to practice skills and problem-solving between appointments.
