Denise Schwartz

Denise Schwartz is a Nevada licensed clinical professional counselor - LCPC - with 10 years of practice experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, and life purpose. She works with people who feel stuck after a change or who want clearer direction in work and life.

Denise uses practical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas. Sessions often include concrete skills practice for managing overwhelm and improving focus. She helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and tries small experiments to test new ways of coping.

Her work pays attention to identity and gender issues, and she supports LGBTQ people exploring who they are. She also brings experience supporting veterans, first responders, caregivers, and neurodivergent clients. That background informs how she talks about stress, burnout, and relationship problems.

When ADHD affects motivation or relationships, she looks at routines, environmental changes, and communication strategies that fit the person’s life. For people questioning purpose, she breaks the question into manageable steps and examines practical choices rather than abstract ideals.

Denise describes her sessions as collaborative and direct. She asks about what hasn’t helped before, offers specific techniques, and revisits them to see what actually works. To get started, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name values and take small, workable steps toward them. It focuses on noticing thoughts without being pushed around by them and on committing to actions that match what matters. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can reduce reactivity and create steadier days.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise treats that as a collaborative process. She reviews your goals and tries different techniques to see what fits, adjusting the plan as you learn what helps most.

The biography does not list specific remote formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, fewer travel demands, or a format that doesn’t require being on camera. Therapists and licensed professionals use online work to practice skills, try behavioral experiments, and keep momentum between sessions.
