About Diane
Diane Jensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 28 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and grief, and ADHD. Diane also addresses anger, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Diane listens first, then helps people name the problem and try practical steps that fit daily life. Her style is direct and interactive rather than overly technical. Clients can expect clear feedback and a focus on skills they can use between sessions.
Diane blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness tools. That means she pays attention to how thoughts and behaviors connect, and she encourages present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity. She also draws on emotion-focused ideas when relationship or intimacy issues are central.
Her background includes long experience helping people manage family-related stress, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver strain, and end-of-life issues. She has worked with attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, and forgiveness or guilt issues.
When practical problems come up, Diane helps with planning and skill practice. She uses parts of dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and CBT for changing unhelpful thinking. Sessions aim to be usable in everyday life rather than abstract talk.
How sessions work
How Diane uses talk therapy methods online
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first. It focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can explore options for change. This approach helps when someone wants a calm place to sort through family or parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses exercises and homework to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to work or family roles.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, includes skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. When anger, relationship strain, or intense reactions recur, DBT skills can give practical tools to reduce escalation.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns and goals with the client and recommend strategies to try. Choices are adjusted over time based on what helps and what fits the person's daily life.

Discussing preferred ways to meet is part of the first scheduling steps.
