About Denise

Denise Mollo is a licensed independent clinical social worker, LICSW, and a Florida LCSW with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, addiction-related struggles, and issues linked to blended families and parenting.

Denise listens without judgment and helps people sort through what feels confusing or overwhelming. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps to reduce distress and regain direction. She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person.

Her approach draws on client-centered work to follow the person’s lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and habits, and mindfulness techniques to steady attention in the moment. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns from the past and solution-focused methods to set concrete short-term goals.

In sessions she blends discussion with simple exercises and home practice. People can expect to leave with one or two actions to try between meetings. Denise aims to make sessions understandable and useful rather than theoretical.

She offers therapy in English and practices in Florida. If someone is considering therapy for relationship strain, co-parenting tension, stepfamily adjustments, or anxiety, she helps them clarify next steps and practical coping tools.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit

Client-centered work focuses on the person’s priorities. The therapist follows what the client brings, listens carefully, and reflects understanding. This helps people clarify their goals and decide what to address first.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood and is useful for stress, worry, and relationship-related thinking.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to steady attention and reduce reactivity. These skills can help with emotional ups and downs and support sleep, concentration, and day-to-day coping.

Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those priorities. Adjustments are made as work proceeds so sessions remain focused and practical.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into daily life because they reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, mindfulness exercises, and client-centered conversation to work in a virtual setting while keeping the work goal-oriented and practical.
