Hello,
I am a passionate and well qualified Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I earned a Master of Art in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2012. I have over 13 years of experience working with adults and children who have been abused or neglected and that have various substance abuse and mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and ADHD.
I like to adapt sessions to assist clients in identifying stressors, identify motivations, build support systems, and increase functioning. I am an excellent communicator and client advocate, experienced at working with diverse age groups and socio-economic populations.
The counseling experiences are one that will require trust commitment and requires participation from all parties involved. My goal is to establish a therapeutic relationship with each client while striving to be honest and maintain professionalism at all times. I will be utilizing techniques from an eclectic approach to counseling, primarily focusing on Family Systems, Person Centeredness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Techniques will include journaling, and active listening. Homework assignments will be given as appropriate and relaxation exercises may be presented to encourage problem solving and coping skills. I believe in empowering individuals to overcome personal obstacles that may be keeping them from reaching their goals in life.
I hope to hear from you soon,
Warmly,
Denotra

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I absolutely love her!!! She’s always there!!
Denotra is wonderful and super attentive when I have anything going on that feels overwhelming. She does not push but somehow found the root of my problem within one phone call! I love the worksheets she sends me and her ability to juggle my ever changing list of insecurities. She is a huge asset in my life!
Denotra is amazing. She is so responsive and understanding. I am having a great experience.
Denotra has made something I've been very hesitant about doing to something I am getting more comfortable with by the session. She answers promptly every time I need her, with insightful feedback and questions. I also enjoy the exercise that she sends over the message board. I look forward to continue to work with her.
She's absolutely wonderful. She's patient, kind and compassionate and quick to build me up when I can't see the best in myself. She's very involved with me and I truly feel like she cares about me. 10/10 would recommend!
