Diane Jensen , LCSW - Therapist in Wisconsin

About Diane

Diane Jensen is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of experience in Wisconsin. She focuses on practical, day-to-day concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting questions, grief, and trauma. Diane aims to be straightforward and caring in sessions.

She prefers clear conversation and honest feedback to help people move forward. Her style is warm and interactive. She listens without judgment and adapts approach to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning small skills for handling emotions, and practicing new ways to communicate. Diane balances direct guidance with space for people to reflect. She draws on several evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside client-centered and emotion-focused techniques.

That mix lets her address patterns of thinking, manage strong emotions, and improve closeness in relationships. Mindfulness practices are used when helpful to ground attention and reduce reactivity. Diane has worked with issues that come up around adoption and foster care, aging and caregiving, attachment and codependency, money concerns, end-of-life topics, and social anxiety.

She also supports people coping with career stress, compassion fatigue, phobias, and post-traumatic stress. Her background gives her flexibility in setting goals and choosing strategies. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in a variety of remote formats.

Diane aims to collaborate on a plan that fits each person’s life and preferences, helping them build practical skills and clearer direction.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and following the client’s priorities. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds clear tools for handling strong emotions and improving coping when reactions feel overwhelming.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current needs and goals, then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time so therapy stays useful and practical for daily life.

Online sessions can be conducted by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep support between in-depth sessions. The formats also allow practicing skills in real time and staying connected from different locations, which can be especially helpful for people juggling family and work demands.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
