Hello! My name is Chelsea Denegri, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I work with individuals to address a range of challenges, using a client-centered approach that emphasizes empathy and understanding.
As a solution-focused therapist, my approach centers on helping clients identify their strengths and resources to find practical solutions to their challenges. I integrate various theoretical approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address and reshape negative thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to enhance mindfulness and commitment to personal values, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to improve emotional regulation and interpersonal skills. Additionally, I utilize motivational interviewing to foster client engagement and self-motivation. This combination allows me to tailor my therapy to meet each client's unique needs while maintaining a forward-looking perspective that emphasizes progress and achievable outcomes.
I approach goal setting with the belief that clients are the experts of their own lives and possess valuable insights into their experiences and needs. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their aspirations, values, and challenges, empowering them to articulate their goals. Together, we create a clear roadmap that reflects their unique vision for growth and healing. I emphasize flexibility in this process, allowing goals to evolve as clients progress and gain new insights, ensuring that they remain relevant and motivating. By fostering a sense of ownership, I help clients feel invested in their journey, enhancing their commitment to achieving their goals.
