About Denise
Denise Jensen is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep trouble, grief, depression, parenting strain, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her style is down-to-earth and strengths-focused, aiming to spot practical steps people can try between sessions.
She uses common-sense methods to help people manage symptoms and move toward goals. Sessions often include problem-solving, goal-setting, and talking through patterns that get in the way of rest and daily functioning. Denise draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused practices to create clear, actionable plans.
Narrative ideas and Motivational Interviewing also shape her work. Narrative techniques help people reframe their stories and notice different options. Motivational Interviewing supports change by exploring what matters most to the person and building momentum for small steps.
Denise describes her approach as collaborative and respectful. She tends to highlight personal strengths and practical coping strategies rather than long lists of techniques. The focus is on what can be tried now to improve sleep, reduce worry, and restore routine.
She practices in Indiana and works with adults on a range of life challenges including ADHD, caregiving stress, career transitions, and midlife concerns. People who prefer straightforward guidance and concrete tools may find her approach a good fit.
How Denise Uses Practical Therapies Online
Denise often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that interfere with sleep and mood, then try specific changes. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on concrete goals and small steps that move a person toward better rest and daily functioning.Narrative Therapy and Motivational Interviewing also appear in her approach. Narrative work helps people separate themselves from problem patterns and rewrite unhelpful stories. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to build readiness for change by linking values to action.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, preferences, and current life demands. That collaboration helps shape realistic, short-term plans for improving sleep, reducing worry, or managing caregiving and work stress.
