About Denise
Denise Schwartz is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor practicing in Nevada with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, and life purpose questions. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than vague promises of change.
Denise pays particular attention to how attention differences affect daily life. She helps people with ADHD and ADD find strategies that fit their routines and responsibilities. That means trying tools in session that can be used right away at work, home, or school.
She also supports LGBTQ+ individuals and people exploring gender identity and purpose. Conversations often cover communication habits, shame or guilt, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Denise uses skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete techniques for handling emotions and staying focused on chosen values.
Her background includes work with veterans, first responders, and neurodivergent clients. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier relationships shape current patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, practical changes that move a person toward clearer next steps.
Sessions are straightforward and task-oriented while still allowing time to talk through feelings. People who come for help around life purpose leave with small experiments to try between meetings. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Denise uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters and take small, value-guided steps. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal goals, which can help with anxiety and life purpose questions.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT offers concrete tools for managing strong feelings and improving communication in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. That choice can shift over time as progress and priorities change.
If you plan to meet online, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will discuss how to structure sessions so techniques and experiments can be practiced between meetings and applied to real-life situations.
