Denise Mitchell, LCPC, LPC

Denise Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). She has practiced for 19 years and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief, anger, career questions, depression, and coping with life changes.

Denise works in plain, practical ways. She talks through immediate problems and helps people notice how thinking affects behavior. Sessions include concrete skills for handling frustration, communication problems, control issues, and the strain of caregiving. She also supports people wrestling with forgiveness, infidelity, jealousy, and questions about life purpose.

Her training includes client-centered approaches and cognitive behavioral techniques. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused methods to help people find steps forward. In practice she combines these approaches based on what someone needs rather than relying on a single method.

Denise has experience with adults and young adults and has worked with people facing learning and social skills challenges, self-harm thoughts, and personality disorder concerns. She describes therapy as a practical process of identifying choices, trying different options, and building coping skills over time.

Conversations in sessions are direct and goal-oriented. Denise helps people build problem-solving habits, practice calmer responses, and plan for real-world situations. She encourages clients to set achievable goals and to test small changes between meetings.
