Diane Jensen is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She practices in Wisconsin and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma, parenting struggles, ADHD, and phobias. Diane takes a straightforward and caring approach in sessions.
She uses warm, interactive conversations to understand what matters most to each person. Diane listens without judgment and asks direct questions to clarify problems and goals.
Background and approach
She aims to make sessions practical so people can try things that help between meetings. Diane blends methods that focus on thoughts, emotions, behavior, and mindful self-awareness. In therapy she helps people spot unhelpful thinking, learn new coping skills, and practice calmer responses to stress or triggers.
She also supports people coping with life changes like caregiving, adoption, aging, and end-of-life concerns. Her work covers a wide range of life issues such as communication problems, codependency, money stress, intimacy-related concerns, and social anxiety. She pays attention to how past hurts and attachment patterns affect present relationships.
Diane also helps with practical skills for anger, self-esteem, and career-related stress. Sessions may include discussion, skills practice, and simple exercises to use between sessions. Diane will tailor the plan to each person’s needs and preferences.
She welcomes international clients and conducts therapy in English.
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person sets the pace and priorities. This helps when someone needs emotional support and wants to feel heard before trying new strategies.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect emotions and behavior. Online sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and phobias.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. In remote visits, therapists can coach skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation and assign short practice exercises to use in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative style aims to find a workable fit rather than a single fixed method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial cues and build rapport. Phone sessions work well when a quieter connection or less bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
