About Denise
Denise Jensen is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She works with individuals who are struggling with grief, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, and career transitions. Her approach is practical and strengths-focused, aiming to build tools people can use between sessions.
She blends simple, goal-oriented methods with a client-centered attitude. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most now and on small steps that add up.
Background and approach
Denise listens for strengths and patterns, then helps people test new ways of responding to hard situations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. Solution-focused techniques help people set clear, manageable goals and notice what improves.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to shift habits or decisions but feel stuck. Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to open up different possibilities. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events keep causing intense reactions.
Together, these approaches give options to address things like impulsivity, anger, and coping with life changes. Denise emphasizes collaboration and practical skills work. She helps clients come up with plans they can try between meetings and checks in on what worked.
Her goal is to support steady progress and clearer choices over time.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It involves listening closely, acknowledging strengths, and shaping sessions around each person’s priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to process feelings and build on what already works.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking and testing new actions. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing anger by breaking unhelpful cycles.
Motivational Interviewing is a brief, collaborative way to explore readiness for change. It helps people find their own reasons to try something different and set achievable steps toward goals like shifting habits or improving relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Denise will talk with the client about goals and preferences and will adjust methods as needed. Together they decide which tools to try and which to set aside based on what’s helpful and realistic.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer discussions. Phone works when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching-style support, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and daily life.
