About Deniele
Deniele Degryse is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, attention difficulties, and trauma. Deniele aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and direct.
She uses simple, conversational sessions where people can talk about what matters most. Deniele creates space to name feelings, sort priorities, and try small changes that build over time. She encourages practical steps rather than long lectures.
Background and approach
Her work often focuses on day-to-day coping skills for anxiety and mood, strategies for attention and focus, and ways to handle strong reactions like anger or compulsive behaviors. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship conflict, and life transitions. Deniele draws from client-centered methods that prioritize what the person wants to address first.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to break down patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. These methods are explained in plain language and applied together as needed. Sessions look like guided conversation, problem-solving, and skill practice.
Parents who feel overwhelmed get help with practical routines and realistic goals. People who struggle with intrusive thoughts or OCD-type habits work on manageable steps to reduce their hold. Overall, Deniele focuses on steady progress and clear, usable tools.
She works at a pace chosen by the person in therapy and adjusts her approach to fit each situation.
Approach and Online Therapy Options
Deniele uses client-centered work that focuses on what the person brings to each session and values listening and collaboration. This approach helps people feel heard and decide which issues to tackle first, from parenting stress to relationship worries.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions together. CBT helps spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with practical steps, useful for anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and attention challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Deniele will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then shape sessions around what seems most helpful. The choice of techniques is a collaborative decision and can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people keep visual contact and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text sessions offer flexibility for brief updates, homework check-ins, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to stay consistent with appointments.
