About Diane

Diane Jensen is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of practice in Wisconsin. She has spent 28 years helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship struggles. Diane aims to be direct, caring, and easy to talk with during sessions.

Her style is warm and interactive. Diane focuses on practical conversations that help clients learn more about themselves and their patterns. She treats people with respect and avoids stigmatizing labels.

Sessions often include tools from Trauma-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address upsetting memories and unhelpful thoughts. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s goals and values.

Diane works with a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress, grief, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and caregiver strain. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, aging and end-of-life matters, attachment questions, and financial stress.

Her approach blends practical skill-building with space for emotion. Clients can expect straightforward feedback paired with empathetic listening. Diane helps people set clear goals, practice new skills, and track progress over time.

How Diane’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process painful memories and reduce the distress they cause. It often involves gentle exposure to memories and building coping skills to manage strong emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and to build healthier routines for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. The therapist listens closely and helps clients identify their own goals and values to guide the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Diane collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She will adjust techniques as the work unfolds so the plan stays useful and relevant.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm available session formats before booking since options can change. The original profile notes that Diane uses video and that she can also interact by phone and text. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten travel time, allow a quieter check-in during a break, or avoid being on camera when that feels better.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
