About Denise
Denise Schwartz is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Nevada. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, and supports those working through relationship patterns, self-esteem concerns, and questions about identity and purpose.
She often works with people who have attention challenges such as ADHD, and helps them find strategies that match their daily life instead of one-size-fits-all solutions. She also supports people exploring gender and sexual identity and those facing mood changes or workplace strain.
Background and approach
Denise draws on approaches like Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and psychodynamic ideas to shape sessions. That means she mixes practical skills training with conversations that look at underlying patterns and values. Sessions tend to focus on small, useful changes rather than long lectures.
Her decade of experience includes time with veterans, first responders, and neurodivergent people navigating transitions. She emphasizes building coping tools, improving communication, and clarifying life goals so people can feel more grounded and able to act on what matters to them. In sessions she helps create a straightforward plan and adjusts it as needs shift.
Meeting someone where they are and figuring out next steps together is central to her style.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Denise uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and committing to actions that reflect personal goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can be useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which techniques to try first. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan as needs change and to combine skill-building with deeper exploration when helpful.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different rhythms of life. Video is good for full sessions and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and texting work well for quick check-ins or when typing helps organize thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible and can help fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
