Denise Marie LCPC, LPC

Hello and welcome!

I’m a licensed therapist in both Illinois and Virginia, with over 20 years of experience in counseling, art therapy, substance abuse treatment, health and wellness coaching, and clinical supervision. Throughout my career, I’ve had the honor of supporting a diverse range of clients—teens and adults alike—navigating challenges such as mood disorders, addiction, anger management, life transitions, relationship dynamics, communication struggles, and motivation. I also specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma, abuse, grief, and loss.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and personalized to meet each client’s unique needs. I draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, insight-oriented practices, solution-focused strategies, strengths-based methods, and Motivational Interviewing. At the heart of my work is a belief in the healing power of authentic, respectful relationships and being fully present with my clients.

I’m here to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner strengths. Whether you’re facing a current challenge or seeking personal growth, I’m committed to walking alongside you with patience, empathy, and understanding.

If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and growth, I’d be honored to work with you.
