Denise Schwartz

Denise Schwartz is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Nevada who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and the challenges of ADHD. She also supports those facing identity questions and life transitions, including separation and divorce.

Her work emphasizes useful skills and clear conversation. She combines techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused therapy to match each person’s needs. Sessions center on small, doable changes rather than long lists of theory.

Denise often helps people manage attention and motivation struggles linked to ADHD. She uses concrete strategies that fit daily life, like organizing routines, narrowing focus, and reducing overwhelm. She also talks through relationship patterns and communication problems to improve interactions and reduce conflict.

She has ten years of experience and has worked with military veterans, first responders, and neurodivergent clients. That background informs her practical, steady style and her attention to how stress affects functioning. She focuses on building resilience and clearer goals rather than quick fixes.

People who choose her can expect a respectful, straightforward approach. She aims to help clients identify values, try small experiments, and adjust strategies that don’t work. To begin, she asks a few questions so sessions can be tailored to what matters most to each person.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while accepting difficult feelings. It helps people who feel stuck or unsure about life direction. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and improving communication in stressful moments. It is useful for people dealing with mood swings, impulsivity, or relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She may mix ACT, DBT, and solution-focused techniques so sessions focus on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and keep momentum between appointments. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it simpler to try skills during a typical day so they transfer into real life more easily. Licensed professionals can help tailor session pacing and techniques to match your routine and goals.
