About Denise
Denise Schwartz uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. She is a Nevada-based therapist with ten years of experience and holds the LCPC credential. She works with individuals on concerns like ADHD, self-esteem, relationships, and LGBT-related issues.
Her sessions focus on real-life strategies that fit a client's day-to-day routine. For people with attention differences she helps build routines, manage impulsivity, and improve focus in ways that feel doable.
Background and approach
For relationship and communication struggles she guides clearer conversations and practical behavior changes. Denise draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and values-based action. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns that show up in partnerships and self-worth.
Solution-Focused methods help set short-term, measurable goals. She has experience supporting veterans, first responders, and neurodivergent clients through major life transitions. That background informs practical coping tools for workplace stress, mood shifts, and caregiver strain.
Sessions aim to strengthen resilience and daily functioning. Denise keeps language straightforward and works collaboratively to tailor strategies. Clients can expect a mix of skill-building, reflective work, and step-by-step planning.
Her approach centers on what people want to do differently and how to get there.
Approach-driven care online
Denise commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online work. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving relationships.Choosing the right approach happens together. Denise will listen to your goals and try techniques that match your needs. If something doesn’t fit, she adjusts the plan so work feels useful and relevant rather than academic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or you need a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging let you share shorter updates, ask questions between sessions, and keep momentum during busy weeks. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, commute, or family routine.
