About Denise

Denise Mollo is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, trauma and related challenges. Denise also supports people dealing with addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

She listens and helps people talk through what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Denise aims to help clients notice their existing strengths and build on them through straightforward strategies.

Her work draws on client-centered therapy to acknowledge each person’s perspective. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness practices to return attention to the present. These methods are used to address everyday stressors and longer-standing patterns alike.

Denise prefers a collaborative approach. She and the client set goals together and track progress in small, concrete ways. Conversations often include problem-solving, skill practice, and moments to reflect on how past experiences shape current reactions.

People seeking help for parenting pressure, family-related concerns, or relationship strain will find that Denise focuses on practical coping and clearer communication. She works in English and practices in Florida. To start, readers are invited to follow the platform steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Denise uses different approaches online

Denise commonly combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on hearing a person’s perspective and letting that guide the steps taken in therapy. It helps when someone needs a calm place to sort out what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and patterns and uses simple exercises to test and change them. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems.

Mindfulness techniques are also part of her practice. Mindfulness means practicing attention to the present moment through brief exercises. These tools can help when worry, sleep problems, or rumination make everyday tasks harder. Denise treats finding the right mix of approaches as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed over time.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life because sessions can be scheduled around work and caregiving demands. Other practical advantages include shorter check-ins when needed, reduced travel time, and choosing sessions that match energy levels such as audio-only for lower bandwidth or video when visual contact helps progress. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit each person’s routine.
