About Denise
Denise Mason is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
She uses clear, goal-focused work to address daily problems and longer-term difficulties. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, setting concrete goals, and practicing small changes between meetings. Denise blends conversational listening with structured exercises so people can try new ways of responding to stress and emotions.
Her background includes a Masters in Social Work and two decades working in clinical settings. That experience informs a practical approach to common problems such as mood shifts, trauma reactions, and worry that affects everyday life. She draws on multiple methods when they fit the person’s goals.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and direct feedback. People can expect to talk through what is happening now, set clear steps to try, and review progress on follow-up visits. Humor and a straightforward manner are used when it helps move the work forward.
Denise supports English-speaking clients and accepts international clients through her practice. Before scheduling, confirm current session formats and details so they match your needs.
How Denise integrates approaches in online work
Denise commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then testing small experiments to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and clear feedback so the person sets the pace and goals of the work.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for regulating strong emotions and improving coping when that fits the client’s needs. DBT skills training emphasizes practical practices such as breathing, distress tolerance, and managing intense reactions in the moment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to identify goals, try options, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative planning happens early and is revisited as progress is reviewed.
The original profile does not list specific remote session formats, so confirm which session options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people apply CBT and DBT skills to real-life situations between appointments.
