About Diane
Diane Jensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 28 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and social anxiety and phobia. Diane also assists with parenting, career concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Diane uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what matters most to them. She listens and asks direct questions to clarify problems. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills people can use between meetings. Diane aims to reduce overwhelm and help clients feel more able to handle daily demands.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across grief, caregiving and end-of-life concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and attachment problems. She brings experience working with codependency, communication problems, financial stress, and compassion fatigue. That broad exposure shapes how she understands complex, overlapping problems like trauma plus anxiety.
Diane draws on several approaches when they fit a person’s needs. She often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and behavioral patterns. Mindfulness strategies and emotionally-focused techniques appear when the goal is improving emotional awareness and connection. Client-centered principles guide how she listens and responds.
People who prefer clear feedback and practical tools may find her style helpful. Diane describes her work as interactive rather than purely reflective. She likes to review progress and adjust plans as therapy moves forward.
How Diane’s approaches translate to online work
Diane commonly blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. Client-centered work focuses on attentive listening and responding to what the person says, which helps build a clear plan together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches tools to change them. Mindfulness therapy teaches noticing thoughts and feelings without reacting, which can help with anxiety and panic.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Diane will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s needs. She adjusts the plan as progress is reviewed so the work stays relevant and practical.
Confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats in detail. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when that is most useful. Video can help with nonverbal cues while phone or messaging may work better when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed. Licensed professionals and therapists often find these choices help people sustain work between sessions and practice new skills in everyday life.
