If you’ve been stuck in the same relationship patterns, constantly over-giving, second-guessing yourself, or wondering how you lost your sense of self…
I get it...
You might look strong on the outside.
Capable. Independent. High-achieving.
I'm Denielle Rigoglioso LPC, CSAC
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and Florida, and I help adults break free from toxic relationship patterns, rebuild their self-worth, and learn how to trust themselves again.
In your relationships, something keeps repeating.
You ignore red flags.
You give more than you get.
You feel responsible for how others feel.
And somehow, you end up feeling drained, confused, or disconnected from yourself.
I specialize in:
- narcissistic abuse recovery
- people-pleasing patterns
- boundary setting
- self-worth and identity work
- mindful self-compassion
This work is about helping you stop repeating cycles that leave you feeling stuck and start creating relationships that actually feel safe, balanced, and aligned.
My Approach: Real Change, Not Just Insight
Denielle Rigoglioso, LPC CSAC
I use a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and self-compassion-based approaches to help you understand your patterns and actually change them.
This isn’t just about talking.
It’s about helping you:
- Recognize your triggers in real time
- Understand why you respond the way you do
- Shift core beliefs that keep you stuck
- Learn how to respond differently, with clarity and confidence
Because insight alone doesn’t change your life.
Why This Work Is Personal to Me
This work is not just professional, it’s personal.
Through both my clinical experience and my own life, I’ve seen how narcissistic and emotionally unhealthy relationships can slowly impact your sense of self.
You start to:
- question your instincts
- overanalyze everything
- take on more responsibility than is yours
And because many of my clients are high-achieving, strong individuals, this often goes unnoticed at first.
You’re used to handling things.
Pushing through.
Figuring it out on your own.
Which is exactly why these patterns can catch you off guard.
What Makes My Work Different
Because of both my professional training and lived experience, I don’t just help you talk about what happened.
I help you:
- Recognize unhealthy patterns earlier
- Identify your emotional triggers
- Understand exactly what’s happening in the moment
- Know how to respond instead of falling back into old cycles
This is where real change happens.
Not just in awareness, but in how you show up in your life and relationships moving forward.
