About Denise
Denise Owen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than three decades of professional experience in social work and clinical settings.
Background and approach
She draws on a long history of work across inpatient and outpatient environments, including psychiatric and medical hospitals, and brings practical experience addressing stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, ADHD, parenting and self-esteem challenges, and a wide range of life transitions and trauma-related issues.
Her practice emphasizes collaboration and careful assessment: she prefers to understand each client's goals before selecting therapeutic interventions and will change course if an approach is not effective. Denise uses an integrative toolkit that includes cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment techniques, mindfulness practices, and dialectical and client-centered methods.
A longtime learner, she maintains her LCSW through ongoing professional training and draws on teaching and writing experience to make therapy practical, accessible, and relatable. She welcomes clients who are ready to set goals and engage in steady work toward clearer coping, improved relationships, and greater emotional balance.
Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Denise integrates evidence-informed methods into online work, often drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-driven action and to build psychological flexibility when people face painful feelings or difficult life transitions. Mindfulness-based practices are woven into her approach to enhance present-moment awareness and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; she begins by assessing each person's goals and preferences and then tailors interventions together with the client. If an approach does not seem to fit, she adjusts the plan so that therapeutic work remains practical and aligned with the client’s needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with remote work. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care across distances and to access support in ways that fit daily life, while still working with a licensed professional to build coping skills, manage symptoms, and pursue personal goals.
