Getting to know Denisse Marie Suarez
The provider is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern.
I’m a bilingual Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (RMHCI) based in Florida, offering therapy for children, teens, and families navigating anxiety, stress, and life changes. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida International University (FIU), where I was a BHWET Fellowship recipient. My clinical experience includes working across home, school, and community settings, helping children and adolescents with ADHD, autism, oppositional behaviors, and emotional regulation challenges.
I also support parents and caregivers through psychoeducation and family therapy, helping them strengthen communication and respond effectively to behavioral and emotional needs. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and play therapy techniques, all tailored to each client’s age and goals.
Fluent in English and Spanish, I am passionate about creating a safe, culturally responsive space for individuals and families, especially those navigating identity, acculturation, or first-generation experiences. My goal is to help every client feel understood, empowered, and capable of meaningful change.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work collaboratively and compassionately, blending structure with flexibility. Sessions are supportive, interactive, and tailored to your unique needs. Whether I’m helping a child express emotions through play or guiding a parent in managing stress at home, I focus on practical strategies that build emotional awareness and resilience.
Clients often describe my style as warm, patient, and encouraging. I believe therapy works best when clients feel seen, safe, and supported in taking small, meaningful steps toward growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first sessions, we’ll discuss your goals, background, and daily challenges to build a shared understanding of what’s bringing you to therapy. For children and teens, I often include parents or caregivers early in the process to ensure that progress at home and in session align.
As therapy continues, we’ll explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors through evidence-based techniques like CBT and DBT. I may introduce mindfulness or skill-building exercises between sessions to reinforce growth. My goal is to help you develop the tools, confidence, and insight to navigate challenges more effectively—within yourself, your family, and your community.
