About Denise
Denise Mitchell uses a client-centered approach to help people find practical ways forward. She blends direct problem-solving with supportive, empathetic care. Denise brings 19 years of clinical experience to sessions and speaks English.
She practices from Maryland and holds MD, LCPC, and LPC credentials. Denise focuses on everyday stresses and major life shifts. She works with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship and family concerns, and trauma and abuse.
She also helps with self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and coping with change.
How Denise works
Her style is practical and down-to-earth. Denise helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of responding. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for thinking-behavior links and Solution-Focused techniques to set small, reachable goals.
Denise combines those methods with Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions warm and supportive. She tailors the plan to each person rather than following one fixed method. That flexibility lets her focus on what matters most to the individual.
She also addresses specific concerns like caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, infidelity, jealousy, forgiveness, and life-purpose questions. Additional focus areas include multicultural concerns, personality disorders, self-harm, women's issues, and challenges common to young adults. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Denise aims to make the work manageable and paced to each person’s readiness. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on therapist availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches in online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding with empathy so the person feels heard and understood. It helps people clarify what they want to change and builds motivation for taking small steps toward those goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Denise uses CBT to help people recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical strategies to shift reactions to stress, anxiety, or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest methods to try together. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction from wherever they are, phone can be a quicker check-in with lower bandwidth, and messaging supports brief updates or reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
