About Diane
Diane Jensen is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of practice in Wisconsin. She brings 28 years of experience helping people face anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and stress. Diane offers straightforward, compassionate care and aims to make conversations easy to join.
She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. Her background includes long-term work with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and anger or self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
Diane also supports people dealing with caregiving stress, adoption and foster care questions, aging and end-of-life issues, and the effects of past abuse or trauma. She pays attention to how attachment and communication shape current problems. Diane’s style is warm, interactive, and direct.
She listens without judgment and helps people try new ways of thinking and acting. Sessions can include skill practice, exploring patterns, and building clearer communication. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs, including client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical strategies, emotion-focused methods, and mindfulness practices. Those tools are chosen based on what a person needs most in the moment. Diane offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and works with people from Wisconsin and beyond.
Practical matters such as scheduling and subscription details are managed through the platform’s Start Therapy flow.
How Diane’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding your experience and building a supportive space where you can talk through concerns and decide on goals. It helps when someone needs empathy, acceptance, and practical reflection to move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple tools and small exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication patterns keep causing conflict.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for full conversations and seeing nonverbal cues, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can work well during a short break. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent messages. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
