About Denise
Denise Jensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and attention-related challenges. Denise also addresses life changes like career shifts, divorce and blended family issues. She provides care in English and does not take international clients.
Her style is straightforward and strengths-focused. Sessions concentrate on clear goals and practical steps. She uses solution-focused work to identify small, achievable changes and cognitive behavioral methods to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Denise draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. Narrative techniques are used to reframe personal stories that feel stuck or limiting. These methods are mixed to match a person’s immediate needs and priorities.
Clients can expect a focus on problem solving for parenting stress, caregiver burnout, adoption or foster care concerns, and managing conditions such as bipolar or ADHD. Denise also helps when family of origin issues, codependency, guilt, shame or impulsivity are affecting daily life.
Practical supports such as coaching around goals, sleep strategies, and skills for anger or emotion management are part of sessions when useful. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Denise uses familiar approaches in online sessions
Denise often blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered work involves listening closely to what matters to the person and building on their strengths. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems.She also uses Motivational Interviewing when decision-making feels stalled. That approach helps people weigh pros and cons and find personal reasons to change, which can be useful for parenting adjustments, substance-related concerns, or making career moves.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Denise will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress or obstacles appear.
