About Denise

Denise Jensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, parenting struggles, relationship strain, trauma, ADHD, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels or diagnoses.

Denise uses straightforward methods to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and solution-focused methods. In a session she listens, helps identify strengths, and suggests small, doable changes to reduce reactivity and improve communication.

Many people come for help with anger that shows up at home or work, or with built-up resentment and impulsive reactions. Denise helps break big problems into manageable pieces so clients can practice new habits between sessions. She also addresses sleep, self-esteem, and stress management because these affect how people handle frustration.

Her approach is pragmatic and collaborative. Denise encourages clear goals and regular check-ins on progress. People who prefer direct feedback and concrete tools will find this style straightforward and goal-focused.

Denise has worked across varied settings over her career and brings that experience to individual sessions. She supports people coping with life changes, career transitions, blended family tensions, and long-term caregiver stress. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.

How sessions work

How Denise’s approaches translate to online sessions

Denise commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered work means the therapist focuses on the person's perspective and strengths, listening closely to what matters most and shaping goals from there. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful reactions and reduce reactivity.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build commitment. That approach is useful when someone is unsure about shifting habits around anger or stress. Denise treats selecting an approach as a collaborative step; she will help identify which methods fit the client's goals and try adjustments as needed.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time after work. It can also allow for sessions that focus on skill practice and homework review in between meetings. Ask about current session options when you start the matching process to see what will work best for your schedule.
