Denise Jensen, LCSW - Therapist in Indiana

About Denise

Denise Jensen is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting struggles, and relationship or family challenges. She has 16 years of experience and practices in Indiana. Her work often addresses trauma, ADHD, sleep problems, anger, and life changes parents commonly worry about.

She uses practical, goal-focused tools and listens carefully to each person’s concerns. Denise keeps sessions straightforward and strengths-based. She looks for what is already working in a person’s life and builds on those skills.

Background and approach

Her style mixes clear problem-solving with understanding and guidance. Sessions aim to be useful and grounded in day-to-day realities. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and client-centered principles.

That combination lets her help people change patterns, set practical goals, and reframe difficult stories about themselves and their relationships. She adapts tools to the issue at hand rather than using a single rigid method. Over her career Denise has supported people through parenting transitions, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress.

She also addresses deeper patterns like codependency, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and struggles with life purpose. Her approach blends empathy with concrete steps toward improvement. People can expect a collaborative conversation that names problems, sketches small experiments, and tracks progress.

Denise explains options and helps clients choose what feels doable. Sessions focus on real change in daily life and clearer next steps.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and supported while they sort out what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small steps and clear goals to create momentum and quick wins.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats increase flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to keep regular contact. They also allow continuing support during life transitions and for those who prefer remote sessions while still using the therapist’s listed approaches.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
