Deniele Degryse, LMHC

Deniele Degryse is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. She also supports those managing attention and focus challenges and people coping with loss or life changes.

She focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Conversations are meant to be straightforward and practical. The goal is to find ways to feel more steady and able to handle daily demands.

Her work includes addressing relationship and parenting concerns, compulsive or obsessive behaviors, and trauma and abuse. She helps people notice patterns that cause pain and try new ways of responding. Sessions emphasize small, concrete steps that can change how someone copes day to day.

Deniele draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Together these approaches aim to make therapy relevant and useful for everyday life.

If someone is nervous about starting therapy, she acknowledges how hard the first step can be and offers steady support. She encourages people to move at a pace that feels manageable and to set goals that matter to them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist offers empathy, reflection, and support while clients set the pace and topics. This approach can help people who want a calm, accepting space to talk about stressful or painful experiences.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. It often includes clear exercises and steps to practice between sessions, which can be helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, OCD-type behaviors, and attention difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different strategies. That conversation guides whether client-centered listening, CBT techniques, or a mix will be most useful.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, or keep check-ins more consistent. Others appreciate being able to practice CBT exercises between meetings and review progress without rearranging their schedule.
