Denise Jensen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, ADHD, and changes in life or career. Her tone is calm and practical and she aims to make therapy feel doable for busy parents.

Denise uses a strengths-based, client-centered style. She asks questions, listens carefully, and helps people notice what is already working in their lives. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit real schedules.

She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. Solution-focused tools are used to identify realistic next steps and build momentum. Motivational interviewing helps when a client feels stuck or ambivalent about change.

Narrative therapy is another option Denise offers to help people reframe difficult stories and find new meanings. She combines these approaches with supportive counseling to create a practical plan tailored to each person. This mix is often used for parenting stress, pregnancy and childbirth-related worries, relationship strain, and grief.

Her practical focus means sessions often include homework, short experiments, and coaching about next steps. Denise aims to help people leave sessions with a clearer idea of what to try between meetings. The goal is steady progress that fits family life, work, and busy days.

How her approaches translate to online work

Denise often uses client-centered work to create a calm, collaborative pace online. This approach centers your priorities and adapts to your schedule, helping identify strengths and realistic next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice patterns of thinking and practice new responses in daily life; it works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and parenting stress. Motivational Interviewing helps when decisions feel hard or conflicting by exploring values and building internal motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Denise will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that feel like a good fit. Work is collaborative so the client and therapist adjust strategies based on what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.

Denise aims to help clients fit therapy into everyday life while focusing on practical steps and progress.
