About Denise
Denise Marie uses an integrative, client-centered approach to guide people through difficult times. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience in counseling and related fields. Denise keeps sessions practical and focused on what helps someone feel steadier day to day.
Her work combines tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, and client-centered listening. She adapts techniques to fit each person's situation instead of using a fixed formula.
How Denise works
That makes the work feel relevant and usable between sessions. Denise has a long history supporting people facing mood concerns, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She also helps with trauma and abuse recovery, grief, trouble with intimacy, and sleep or eating difficulties.
Career stress, anger, and feelings of emptiness or isolation are part of her focus as well. Over the years she has provided substance abuse treatment, health and wellness coaching, art therapy, and clinical supervision. Her background gives practical perspective on relapse prevention, coping skills, and rebuilding routine.
She draws on that experience when helping people set concrete goals. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Denise works from Virginia and holds IL LCPC and VA LPC credentials.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take steps that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying out different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It can help with mood, sleep, and many stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Denise will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means sessions can include values-based work, behavioral experiments, or mindfulness practice depending on what proves helpful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for those living in Virginia and beyond. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief exchanges into a busy day or to follow up between sessions. These formats provide flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family, and other commitments.
