About Denise

Denise Jensen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 16 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family challenges, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical strategies and the client’s existing strengths to address concerns such as parenting difficulties, career crossroads, intimacy-related struggles, and coping with life changes. Her style blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and solution-focused methods to create clear, actionable steps while honoring each person’s story.

Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy also inform her work, supporting clients who want to explore meaning, shift patterns, or rebuild after loss. Denise describes her approach as strengths-based and collaborative, guiding clients toward decisions and skills that fit their lives.

Denise values walking alongside people through difficult transitions - whether dealing with anger, compassion fatigue, blended family issues, or questions of life purpose. She brings practical tools and reflective conversation together to help clients build resilience, address impulsivity or isolation, and pursue more satisfying relationships and daily routines.

Approaches that guide online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and practical day-to-day coping challenges by teaching skills and problem-solving strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective and personal strengths, offering a respectful, empathetic space to explore feelings and build confidence during life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client’s goals and preferences, suggest methods that fit those needs, and adjust direction over time so the work feels relevant and usable. That cooperative planning helps tailor sessions to focus on skills, insight, or short-term problem resolution as appropriate.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce travel time. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care across different situations, enabling continued progress whether the client needs focused skill-building, ongoing support, or brief check-ins between sessions.
