About Denise
Denise Jensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 16 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, parenting problems, relationship strains, trauma, ADHD, and family of origin issues. Her practice also addresses sleep problems, career questions, anger, and challenges tied to life transitions.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Denise draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also uses solution-focused steps and motivational interviewing to set concrete goals and track progress.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to a person’s needs. Denise helps clients identify strengths they already have and build on those resources to handle daily stress and long-standing patterns from childhood. Conversations include concrete skills, small experiments to try between sessions, and reflections on how past family roles still show up now.
Denise has worked in a variety of settings over 16 years, bringing that background into practical problem solving for common life difficulties. She often supports people managing caregiver stress, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and issues around codependency and control.
Her approach is straightforward and focused on what someone can do next. People who want to address family patterns, grief, or recurring behavior choices will find sessions that focus on clear steps and steady progress.
Approaches used in online sessions
Denise commonly uses client-centered work to focus on what matters most to the person and to build on existing strengths. This approach involves listening closely and shaping sessions around the client's priorities, which helps when addressing family of origin patterns and relationship concerns.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT provides practical tools for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsivity by breaking problems into smaller, testable steps.
Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to clarify goals and increase readiness for change. It can help when people feel stuck about parenting choices, career moves, or making changes tied to family expectations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel to an appointment. These practical benefits can help therapy become part of everyday life without changing the core therapeutic work.
