About Denise

Denise Naggi offers a straightforward, practical approach to therapy. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate trauma and grief, and build self-esteem. Denise is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with 19 years of experience.

She talks plainly and listens closely so people feel heard and understood. In sessions she tailors conversation and plans to each person’s situation. That can look like pacing conversations about difficult memories, setting small goals for mood and behavior, or finding ways to cope during high-stress moments.

Background and approach

Denise also helps people facing addictions, relationship strain, and issues tied to sexual assault and abuse. She has additional experience with first responder issues, infidelity, midlife transitions, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Denise centers respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work.

Her long experience informs a calm, steady presence during hard conversations. People can expect practical next steps and gentle accountability. Sessions often include straightforward strategies to manage symptoms between visits.

Denise emphasizes collaboration - she and the person work together to decide what helps most. Her practice is based in Missouri and conducted in English. Denise encourages those who are nervous about starting therapy to take the first step at their own pace.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Denise lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Denise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach centers on stabilizing symptoms and building coping skills for anxiety and stress; it teaches simple strategies to reduce distress and manage daily triggers. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and abuse through paced conversations and safety planning, helping people make sense of difficult experiences and reduce their hold over daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Denise will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts plans over time based on what helps most, so therapy stays focused and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can work when internet bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and a way to access help without scheduling a full video visit. These options can make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
