About Denise
Denise Schwartz is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Nevada who uses practical, real-world methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on everyday struggles like low self-esteem, relationship patterns, and the challenges of ADHD, aiming to make therapy feel useful and straightforward.
Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions emphasize skills you can try between meetings and gentle reflection on patterns that keep problems repeating.
How Denise works
The work balances short-term problem-solving with attention to longer-standing emotional themes. Denise has ten years of clinical experience and has supported people with mood disorders, impulse control concerns, and communication problems. She also addresses identity questions, gender dysphoria, and issues connected to military and first responder backgrounds.
Practical strategies are paired with exploration of attachment, abandonment, and the effects of autism and Asperger syndrome when relevant. Therapy sessions can include goal setting, skill-building for emotion regulation, and talk-based exploration of life purpose and shame. She helps people try concrete steps and then reviews what worked and what needs adjusting.
The tone is direct but warm, with attention to each person’s priorities. Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Denise follows Nevada LCPC standards and tailors care to the person’s needs and schedule.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Denise often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions toward those values while learning how to let difficult thoughts have less control. DBT emphasizes concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Denise collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan so sessions match the pace and focus the person wants.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and shorter reflections between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work, school, or life transitions while working with a licensed professional.
