About Denise

Denise Buckingham, LICSW, is a licensed independent clinical social worker practicing in Massachusetts with eight years of experience in the mental health field. She has supported adults, adolescents, and children through a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, sleep difficulties, and issues with self-esteem and relationships. As a clinician she often blends psychodynamic work - exploring emotions and past experiences through traditional talk therapy - with cognitive behavioral techniques that examine the connections between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings; she adjusts the balance of these approaches based on each person’s needs and preferences. Denise has a particular interest in working with adolescents while continuing to serve many adults in her in-person practice, and she is especially drawn to message-based and live chat counseling as part of her online work. She emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a central factor in progress and welcomes questions from prospective clients who want to learn more about her approach. If Denise and a prospective client seem like a good fit, she looks forward to beginning collaborative work together.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Denise Buckingham

Denise uses a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and difficulties with sleep or addictive behaviors. Psychodynamic Therapy explores emotions, early patterns, and relationship dynamics to help people understand recurring difficulties and build insight into how past experiences affect current life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can develop self-direction and strengthen self-esteem and coping skills.



Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Denise works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and she adapts methods over time as needs evolve.



Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats allow licensed professionals like Denise to offer consistent, accessible care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
