About Denise

Denise Schwartz is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Nevada who focuses on practical therapy for everyday struggles. She listens with curiosity and steadiness when stress, anxiety, or questions about identity feel overwhelming. Conversations are straightforward and geared toward helping people cope better right now.

She spends a lot of time helping people manage attention differences such as ADHD and ADD, and the knock-on effects those challenges can have on work, relationships, and self-worth. Sessions look at realistic strategies for focus, organization, and motivation that fit a person’s actual routine instead of one-size-fits-all plans.

Denise also works with LGBTQ people and others exploring identity and life purpose. She blends techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and psychodynamic ideas to meet each person where they are. The aim is to reduce anxiety, ease relationship patterns, and strengthen a sense of direction.

She has about ten years of clinical experience and has helped people who are veterans, first responders, or otherwise facing big life changes. In session she will talk through communication problems, control issues, guilt, and mood shifts while building practical skills.

Denise frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients set clear, attainable goals and tests small changes in daily life. People can expect a calm, affirming environment focused on what works for them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance get in the way of daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can be useful for stress, impulsivity, and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Sessions can blend skill training and reflective conversation so the plan evolves from session to session.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to practice new skills, troubleshoot challenges at home, and keep momentum between in-person meetings if that becomes part of the plan.
