Diane Jensen , LCSW

Diane Jensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 28 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting struggles, ADHD, grief and loss, anger, self-esteem concerns, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and many other stressors. She also brings focused experience with adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and family problems, hospice and end-of-life counseling, phobias, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety.

Diane's style is warm, interactive, and respectful. Clients have said they find her caring, nonjudgmental, easy to talk with, and appreciate her honest, direct manner. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs, drawing on cognitive-behavioral and client-centered ideas and adapting techniques to fit the situation. As an LCSW Diane blends practical skills training with empathic listening to help clients build insight and coping strategies.

She meets with people through video sessions, by phone, and by text when that better fits their preferences. She is most available during daytime hours and checks messages at least once on weekdays. Diane approaches each case with sensitivity and a focus on helping clients learn more about themselves while navigating the changes they face.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Diane Jensen

Diane integrates client-centered therapy into her online practice, creating a respectful and empathetic space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach is useful for building trust, exploring values, and strengthening a sense of self while navigating relationship and life transition issues.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers concrete strategies for changing reactions and improving day-to-day functioning.

Diane incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, teaching skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors methods so that therapy feels useful and manageable. She encourages open discussion about what is or is not working and adjusts the plan together with each person.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapeutic work into everyday life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who can offer structured support.
