About Denise
Denise Mollo is a licensed social worker who aims to make reaching out feel easier. She holds an MA and practices as a LICSW and LCSW in Florida. She meets people where they are and listens without judgement.
Her style is calm and straightforward, with an emphasis on practical next steps. Denise helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues, and challenges around sleep or eating.
Background and approach
Other areas she addresses include career questions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and relationship concerns from individuals’ perspectives. Her work blends somatic approaches with client-centered conversation and cognitive techniques. She uses simple mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to help people notice patterns and responses in their bodies and minds.
Sessions focus on identifying what is getting in the way and trying small, doable changes. Denise keeps things collaborative. She helps people find strengths they already have and build on them.
Practical tools and short-term goals are used alongside deeper reflection when needed. With five years of experience, she offers video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging sessions. Conversations are paced to match each person’s comfort level.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows based on availability.
Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Somatic Therapy helps people notice how stress and emotions show up in the body and teaches simple ways to regulate physical responses. It can be useful for anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, and for anyone who wants more awareness of bodily signals.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offering support that reflects their values and goals. This approach is helpful when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk things through.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes in thinking and behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and for learning concrete coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Denise will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That choice can shift over time as goals and comfort change, and the therapist checks in regularly to adjust the plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills between meetings. They also allow the therapist to guide body-based awareness and calming techniques in real time, and to offer worksheets or short exercises through messaging when helpful.
