About Denise

Denise Jensen is an Indiana-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 16 years of practice helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on a strengths-based perspective that highlights a person's existing resources and resilience while addressing issues such as parenting challenges, career changes, sleep disturbances, and compassion fatigue. Her background also includes support for those facing divorce or blended-family transitions and complexities tied to adoption and foster care.

Her work combines practical strategies and collaborative exploration rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Denise uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and solution-focused methods to set concrete goals, while motivational interviewing helps clients discover and strengthen their own motivation for change.

She frames therapy as a partnership, guiding clients to make decisions that align with their values and life goals. Sessions emphasize real-world tools, personal strengths, and steady progress toward clearer choices and healthier patterns.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Denise commonly integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods into her online work. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients recognize and adjust patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties, offering concrete skills for coping and change. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on setting achievable goals and identifying small, practical steps that move a person toward their preferred outcomes, which can be helpful for career decisions, relationship issues, and managing day-to-day stress.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each client to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and personal style. Sessions often blend techniques so that learning, reflection, and action happen together, and the plan can shift over time as clients progress.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, practice skills between meetings, and access professional guidance without needing to travel, while still allowing therapists to tailor interventions to individual circumstances.
