About

Denise Buckingham is a licensed clinical social worker in Massachusetts with eight years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked with adults, adolescents, and children, addressing a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and other life challenges.

Denise has a particular interest in working with adolescents while also maintaining an in-person practice that primarily serves adults. She is especially drawn to message-based and live chat counseling as ways to connect with clients.

Her therapeutic approach blends psychodynamic methods - talking through emotions and processing difficult experiences - with cognitive-behavioral techniques that examine how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings influence one another. Denise adjusts the balance of these approaches to match each person’s preferences.

She holds a Master of Arts degree and is a licensed independent clinical social worker in Massachusetts (MA LICSW 121983). Denise values the quality of the therapeutic relationship as a key factor in progress and invites prospective clients to message her with questions. If the fit feels right, she looks forward to working together.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or coping with life transitions, research indicates that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person treatment.

One major benefit is flexibility. Therapists can meet with clients in the format that fits their lives best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to access care without rearranging a whole day.

Licensed professionals provide these services, and if a different therapeutic fit is needed, clients generally have the option to switch therapists. This combination of demonstrated effectiveness and convenient access makes online therapy a practical option for many people seeking support.
