About Diane

Diane Jensen is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience in Wisconsin. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship pain, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and codependency. Diane aims to be direct, caring, and nonjudgmental in sessions. You can expect straightforward conversation and steady support as you work through whatever feels hard right now.

Diane’s style is warm and interactive. She listens first, then uses conversational, goal-focused work to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions often include skill-building for emotion regulation, communication, and managing daily stressors. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity.

Her approach draws from client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness. That mix lets Diane tailor the process to each person’s needs and goals. She aims for clear steps people can practice between meetings.

Diane often uses video to help create a stronger connection, but she has also worked by phone and text when that suits someone better. Most of her availability is during daytime hours and she checks messages at least once on weekdays. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are offered in English.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Diane works alongside each person to set practical goals and to track changes across therapy.

How Diane’s approaches translate to online therapy

Diane uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and dialectical behavior concepts in her online practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and introduce concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior ideas teach practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Diane will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. She adapts pacing and exercises to match what a person needs and watches how interventions are working as therapy continues.

The profile mentions video, phone, and text have been used by Diane, but confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to be on camera. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
