About Diane
Diane Jensen is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience practicing in Wisconsin. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or parenting concerns. Diane aims to be direct, caring, and nonjudgmental in sessions so people can talk honestly about hard things.
Her style is warm and interactive. She listens first and then works with each person to build a plan that fits their situation. Diane uses a mix of approaches, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness exercises.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and clearer understanding. That can mean learning coping skills for anxiety, shifting thought patterns that feed depression, improving communication, or building better boundaries. She also addresses concerns like ADHD, caregiving stress, adoption and foster care questions, and money and financial issues when they come up in therapy.
Diane tailors how she works to each person. She values respect, sensitivity, and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. People can expect honest feedback and guidance while exploring their goals and next steps.
She offers daytime availability and checks messages during weekdays. Diane is comfortable using video, phone, or text contact depending on what a person prefers, and she will help figure out which way of working fits best for ongoing progress.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It involves listening carefully and following the client's pace, which helps people feel heard and develop their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative effort. Diane will discuss goals, preferences, and how each method might fit a person's situation. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Her practice uses video, phone, and text contact depending on what the person prefers, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations. Diane will help design a plan that fits daily life and supports steady progress.
