About
Denise Carey is an LCSW licensed in Pennsylvania with 24 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. Her practice addresses a broad spectrum of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, addiction, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and grief. She has more than a decade of experience conducting crisis assessments for civilians and veterans who experience suicidality.
Her counseling style is warm and compassionate. She approaches each person as the leader of their care team and collaborates to create a treatment plan tailored to individual needs. Her work incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques, humanistic client-centered principles, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-informed perspectives.
In addition to those core methods, Denise draws on mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and the Gottman Method when relevant. She lists a wide range of focus areas that include parenting, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, end-of-life and hospice counseling, and issues affecting veterans and men. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect a commitment to practical skills and collaborative problem solving.
Remote care tailored to goals and skills
Denise offers online sessions that combine structured skill-building with a collaborative, client-centered stance. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, she and the client identify patterns of thought and behavior and work on practical strategies to manage symptoms and build coping skills. Sessions can include brief exercises, homework, and goal setting to translate insights into action.
Her client-centered orientation keeps the client’s priorities front and center. Sessions emphasize listening, validation, and jointly developed plans so the individual directs the pace and focus of work. Motivational Interviewing is used when change feels mixed or when ambivalence needs exploration; this approach helps clarify values and supports movement toward chosen goals.
Online appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options allow for flexible ways to engage that match communication preferences and day-to-day needs while maintaining the collaborative structure of the chosen therapeutic approaches.What is Denise Carey's professional background?
