About Denine

Denine Virgil is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with eight years of professional experience as an MFT and more than 30 years of broader experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. She has worked with children, youth, adults, and families facing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, life transitions, and family conflict, and she brings decades of experience helping clients manage stress, resolve conflicts, address parenting concerns, strengthen parent-child connections, and build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Her approach is warm and interactive, grounded in honesty, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She draws from cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, client-centered, narrative, humanistic, and psychodynamic techniques and adapts conversation and treatment plans to fit each person or family she sees. Denine emphasizes collaboration and views clients as the experts of their own stories, helping them identify strengths they may not yet have discovered and remove barriers that block personal growth. Seeking change takes courage, and she aims to support and empower people as they take the first steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Denine commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people working through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and challenges with self-esteem. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their feelings and build self-awareness. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and introduces practical strategies for shifting behavior and mood, which can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and depressive symptoms.

She also draws on motivational interviewing when readiness for change is uneven; this approach helps people clarify their goals and strengthen internal motivation in a collaborative manner. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Denine works together with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to stay connected across different circumstances. For many people, remote sessions provide consistent access to licensed professionals and therapists while allowing treatment to remain focused on personal goals and day-to-day challenges.
