Denise Jensen

Denise Jensen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana. She has 16 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, or the fallout of trauma. She often supports those facing relationship and parenting struggles, career changes, attention challenges, or burnout from caregiving roles.

Her style is practical and strengths-focused. Sessions usually start by identifying a few clear goals and building steps toward them. She uses plain language and keeps techniques simple so people can try them between meetings. Clients can expect straightforward discussion, problem solving, and guidance rather than jargon.

Denise draws from several approaches to shape each person’s work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy supports quick, goal-oriented steps. Motivational Interviewing can be useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.

She also uses narrative ideas to help people reframe their stories and notice strengths they may have missed. The emphasis is on practical change and on small wins that add up. Denise aims to help people feel more in control of their reactions, gain clearer priorities, and make daily life more manageable.

People who choose her often say they want a down-to-earth therapist who listens and gives usable tools. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and works with each person to set realistic next steps. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and reflecting back what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches steps to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining CBT tools with solution-focused steps or using motivational interviewing when someone needs help deciding on next moves. Decisions are made together and adjusted as progress is reviewed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during the intake process about how to structure sessions to fit work, parenting, or caregiving schedules and about whether video, phone, or another method will best support steady progress.
