About Denise

Denise Schwartz is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Nevada who focuses on practical, evidence-informed strategies for people facing stress, anxiety, ADHD, relationship strains, and issues with self-esteem.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience, she uses a blend of therapeutic methods to tailor care to each person's needs, drawing on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and psychodynamic work to address emotional patterns and improve daily functioning.

She places particular attention on how attention differences like ADHD can affect motivation, focus, and interpersonal dynamics, and partners with clients to develop realistic, usable coping skills rather than one-size-fits-all fixes. Denise also addresses concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, communication and control problems, mood disorders, and identity-related stressors such as gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns.

Denise integrates solution-focused techniques when clients want goal-directed change alongside deeper exploration of underlying patterns, and she has supported people dealing with caregiver stress, first responder and veteran-related issues, and life transitions like divorce. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, practical tools, and helping clients move toward goals that feel meaningful and sustainable.

Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online

Denise commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and build actions that align with those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for mood shifts, impulsivity, and communication challenges.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Denise partners with each client to explore which methods feel most helpful based on their goals, symptoms, and day-to-day realities, and she adjusts strategies over time rather than relying on a single technique.

Online therapy with Denise is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, revisit written exchanges between sessions, and choose the medium that best supports their progress while working with a licensed professional.
