About Denise
Denise Mason is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and anger. She is LGBTQ+ affirming and helps people facing life transitions and career pressures.

Mindfulness strategies and motivational interviewing are used to build awareness and strengthen commitment to change. Sessions include short, doable exercises as well as talk-based problem solving.
Denise supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. She also works with concerns around identity, communication problems, codependency, and feelings of isolation. Her background includes work with aging and geriatric issues and blended family challenges.
Expect straightforward, collaborative sessions that focus on what the person wants to change. Practical strategies and small behavior shifts are emphasized. People are invited to track progress between sessions and bring specific situations to practice new responses.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online care
Denise uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and is useful for anger linked to stress, work issues, and relationship conflict. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Those skills are practical when strong feelings build quickly or when someone needs tools for staying steady in tense moments.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person’s goals and preferences. That means figuring out together which techniques feel most useful and adjusting the work as needed. The therapist and client set priorities and check progress in an ongoing, collaborative way.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people practice skills in the settings where problems happen. Denise will discuss practical arrangements and help match the approach to the client’s goals and daily life.
