About Denise

Denise Jensen is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She works with individuals facing parenting and relationship strain, career crossroads, ADHD, and the emotional fallout of major life changes. Her approach aims to make hard moments easier to manage and understand.

Denise keeps sessions focused and practical. She listens for strengths and helps people build on them.

Background and approach

Conversations move from understanding what matters to making small, doable changes that fit everyday life. She draws on Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered methods to help people reframe painful stories and find new meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques are used when clearer thinking or short-term goals are needed.

Motivational Interviewing helps spot and strengthen a person’s own reasons to change. Denise emphasizes a collaborative style. She treats each person as the expert on their life and works alongside them to test what helps.

Sessions often include straightforward tools, homework ideas, and check-ins about what’s working. Her background as an Indiana LCSW gives her experience with a wide range of concerns, including adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and forgiveness. She combines practical strategies with a strengths-based outlook to help clients move toward clearer choices and a renewed sense of direction.

Online session options

How Narrative and Practical Methods Work Online

Denise uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell a different story about their struggles, focusing on values and meaning rather than labels. This approach can be useful for issues like grief, identity questions, and feeling stuck in old patterns.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person’s goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when people want tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping skills.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try approaches that match those needs. Together they will track what helps and adjust methods over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style reminders, or ongoing notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between appointments.
