About Denise
Denise works at a pace set by the client. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and offers concrete ideas to change those patterns. Conversations may touch on both what someone is aware of and what lies below conscious thought. Bringing hidden influences into view is part of the work she offers.
She emphasizes that feelings often come from how we think about people and situations. Shifting perspective can change feelings quickly, and Denise supports that process with straightforward exercises and reflection. Clients who stay curious and open tend to get more from sessions.
Denise focuses on anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns, and she also helps with grief and end-of-life matters. She works with a wide range of issues including self-esteem, trauma and abuse, parenting, career changes, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD.
Sessions are conducted in English and Portuguese. Denise uses familiar therapeutic methods like cognitive-behavioral tools and emotion-focused conversations to help people notice what gets in the way and make steady changes. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions; it helps people understand why certain relationships trigger strong emotions and how to form healthier connections. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience in the moment, offering a nonjudgmental space where the therapist reflects and supports whatever the client brings; this helps with self-esteem and finding personal direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is often part of the conversation in the first sessions. Denise works collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals, needs, and preferences. She will discuss which techniques to try and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real life.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue care while managing caregiving duties, work breaks, or medical appointments. Licensed professionals, including Denise, can adapt exercises and tools so they work well in a remote setting.
