About Denise

Denise Schwartz is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor practicing in Nevada with 10 years of experience. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Denise also lists LGBT concerns and a wide range of mood and identity issues among her focus areas.

Denise frames therapy as a practical collaboration. She talks through how ADHD affects daily routines, focus, and motivation, then works with each person to try strategies that fit their life. For anxiety and stress she uses concrete skills to manage intense moments and reduce overwhelm over time.

Her approach mixes acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and psychodynamic ideas with solution-focused techniques. That means sessions may include learning skills, noticing patterns from the past, and setting short-term goals. Denise emphasizes clear steps rather than abstract theory.

She has experience supporting people coming from military and first responder backgrounds, and people who identify as neurodivergent. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and the fallout from divorce and separation.

Sessions stay goal-oriented and practical. Denise helps clients identify what feels stuck, try new ways of coping, and track what changes. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter. It helps with anxiety, low motivation, and feeling stuck by teaching people to notice thoughts and act toward goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. Those skills are useful when anxiety or impulsivity make daily life harder.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Denise will work together with each person to decide which techniques to try first, based on their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. This is collaborative and can change as work progresses.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or busy schedules. It can also allow quicker check-ins, fewer travel barriers, and flexibility on timing when someone needs a shorter session or a different hour in the day.
