Denise Mitchell, LCPC, LPC

Denise Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC in Maryland, and also holds an LPC in Virginia with 19 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief, anger, and life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can test between meetings.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also works from a client-centered stance, listening to what matters most and using solution-focused steps to set short-term goals. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to affect daily life.

Her background includes degrees in education and counseling and completion of the requirements to hold an LCPC in Maryland. Over nearly two decades she has worked largely with adults on emotional regulation, coping skills, problem solving, and managing relationship strains. She has experience addressing self-harm thoughts and grief work.

In sessions she guides people through clear exercises and thought records, practical problem-solving tasks, and small behavior changes to try between meetings. Clients talk through current choices and practical steps for change rather than only discussing the past.

Denise pays attention to communication problems, caregiver stress, control issues, divorce and separation, infidelity, multicultural concerns, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people dealing with ADHD-related challenges and young adult issues. Prospective clients should confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking.
