About Denise
Denise Jensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting struggles, trauma, ADHD, anger, and career or life changes. Denise uses straightforward, skills-based work to help people handle difficult moments and decisions.
Her sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and build on strengths. She also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Denise uses solution-focused and motivational interviewing tools to set clear goals and move toward them. Narrative therapy helps some clients reframe the stories they tell about themselves. She blends these approaches so work in therapy matches what a person wants to change.
In a typical session she helps people break big problems into smaller, manageable tasks. She introduces skills for stress, sleep, and impulse control when needed. Sessions include practical homework and experiments to test new ways of responding to anger and frustration.
Her background includes many years with varied concerns, which feeds a flexible, pragmatic style. People who want clear steps and a focus on strengths tend to find this approach useful. To get started she asks about current priorities and helps map the first few steps toward change.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s strengths. The therapist asks about what matters to the client and guides conversations toward practical steps. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive place to sort priorities and try small changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and test different actions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing anger or impulsivity.
Motivational interviewing helps people move from stuckness to action by exploring values and ambivalence. It can be useful when someone is unsure about change or needs help setting realistic goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals and what feels most useful. That planning is revisited as progress is made.
