About Denise
Denise VonSchmidt is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, anger, sleep and eating issues, career shifts, ADHD, and other life changes.
Her approach centers on the person she is working with. She emphasizes listening and respect while guiding clients to find practical steps that fit their life. Sessions mix person-centered conversation with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness tools to address habits of thought and moment-to-moment reactions.
Denise often uses focused work on relationships and emotions. That can include skills to reduce reactivity, rebuild connection, and handle conflict more calmly. She also brings elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method for clients wanting clearer communication and trust-building strategies.
In sessions she combines short exercises, reflection, and practical homework. Clients are invited to notice patterns, practice new responses, and track small changes between meetings. The work aims to make everyday interactions feel more manageable rather than relying on big breakthroughs alone.
Denise has supported people at many life stages and through diverse challenges. She offers straightforward feedback and keeps each meeting goal-focused. To begin, she asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so treatment goals can be clarified.
How sessions work
Approaches and what online sessions focus on
Denise uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that increase reactivity and stress. CBT includes practical exercises and short homework tasks to change unhelpful habits and make daily responses calmer.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape relationships and connection. EFT work focuses on recognizing feelings, opening communication, and building safer ways to respond in tense moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Denise will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and circumstances. That choice may shift as progress is made and new priorities appear.
The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Many clients find online sessions easier to fit into their routine, require less travel time, or let them schedule brief check-ins on busy days. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can be useful when video is difficult, while video sessions allow for more visual connection during communication or emotion-focused work.
