About Denise

Denise Jensen is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Indiana with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD. Her opening paragraph names the main worries she sees and how long she has practiced.

Denise uses practical, problem-focused methods that aim to change thoughts and habits that get in the way. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and test new responses. She also uses client-centered listening, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and solution-focused planning when those fit a person's goals.

Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Denise helps people set small, doable steps and checks progress each visit. She works with issues that range from sleep and anger to caregiving stress, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, and career transitions.

Her style emphasizes building on strengths people already have. That can mean clarifying values after a divorce or separation, addressing feelings of guilt and shame, or managing impulses and isolation. She also supports people coping with midlife questions, life purpose, or compassion fatigue related to caregiving roles.

Denise practices in Indiana and conducts work in English. People interested in starting can expect a practical focus: identifying patterns, trying different responses, and adjusting plans as needed.

How Denise uses structured approaches during remote sessions

Denise commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as part of remote work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsivity by breaking problems into small, measurable steps. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes careful listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters and choose actions that fit their priorities.

She also brings motivational interviewing into conversations when people are weighing change. That method uses focused questions and scaling to build motivation and move toward specific goals. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - she will discuss options, test what fits, and adapt plans based on the person's goals and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work or caregiving days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Denise will work with each person to match methods and scheduling to everyday life without promising a particular session format.
