About Denise
Denise Jensen is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting struggles, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She brings 16 years of practice to each conversation and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Her style is strengths-based and straightforward.
She looks for each person's existing resources and builds on them. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and real-life strategies rather than long theory discussions.
Background and approach
Denise uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and build workable routines. She also draws on client-centered and narrative ideas to help people tell a clearer story about what matters to them. Motivational interviewing is used when clients want help finding motivation for change.
Typical topics include parenting challenges, coping with life changes, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, trauma, and family-of-origin issues. She also works with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family adjustments, and caregiver stress. Conversations often cover sleep, anger, and managing impulses in daily life.
Denise aims to make therapy practical and doable. She helps people set small, measurable steps and checks progress together. Her approach is collaborative, focusing on what the person wants to change and how to get there using methods that fit their life.

How her approaches work online
Denise commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and creates step-by-step behavior changes to improve mood, sleep, and anxiety. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on practical goals and small changes that move a person toward what they want to see different in daily life.She also draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on each person's concerns and values. The therapist and client decide together which approach or mix of approaches to try, adapting as goals and needs change. That collaborative process helps find methods that feel useful and realistic for the person.
Online formats offer flexibility that can support steady progress. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing coaching, and keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
