Denise Schwartz, LCPC

Denise Schwartz is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Nevada who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, and questions about identity. She works with clients on self-esteem, relationship patterns, and challenges related to ADHD. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at finding tools that fit day-to-day life.

She often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with psychodynamic ideas to tailor sessions to each person. That means she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice skills for emotion and impulse control, and clarify values to guide next steps.

Denise has about 10 years of clinical experience, including work with veterans, first responders, neurodivergent people, and LGBTQ clients. She uses that background when addressing issues like mood shifts, communication problems, and life transitions. The work tends to focus on concrete changes people can try between sessions.

When ADHD is part of the picture, she focuses on practical strategies for focus, routines, and motivation rather than one-size-fits-all fixes. For relationship concerns and communication struggles, sessions emphasize clearer expression, boundary-setting, and behavior changes that can improve daily interactions.

Her approach aims to help people build resilience and move toward a life that feels more authentic. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider how a therapist’s style, not just credentials, fits their needs before starting.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life-direction questions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on teaching clear skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can help with impulsivity, mood swings, and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals and preferences. Sessions often begin with practical problem-solving and then adjust as needs and progress become clearer.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since those options are not specified here. Online work can still make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to maintain continuity during transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help clients practice skills between sessions and apply new routines directly in daily life.
