Denise Mitchell, LCPC, LPC

Denise Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, person-centered work. She aims to create a warm, non-judgmental space where people can talk through problems and find clearer choices. Denise brings 19 years of total experience to her work and emphasizes steady, approachable support.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and grief. Relationship concerns such as communication problems, infidelity, jealousy, and divorce are part of her focus. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, ADHD, self-harm thoughts, low self-esteem, and life changes.

Denise blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to help people see how thinking and behavior connect and to build small achievable steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm is part of the concern. She chooses methods to match each person rather than sticking to a single approach.

Her background includes a bachelor’s and master’s degree in education and counseling from the University of Pittsburgh, followed by completion of requirements for a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland at Loyola University. Denise has worked with a wide range of adults and has nearly two decades of experience in counseling settings.

Clients who work with her can expect collaboration on clear goals, straightforward tools for daily life, and a supportive environment for change. She encourages people to begin at their own pace and to shape the path forward together.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Denise uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, non-judgmental space where people feel heard and can set their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs time to sort through feelings and decide what matters most to them.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts influence feelings and actions, and to practice small behavior changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that repeat in relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Denise will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays practical and focused.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific online formats are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options for people who prefer not to meet in person. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help clients apply therapeutic tools in their daily routines.
