Denise Schwartz, LCPC

Denise Schwartz is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Nevada who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people live. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD symptoms, relationship challenges, and questions about identity and self-esteem in clear, practical ways. Sessions aim to be calm and straightforward so clients can try things that fit their daily routines.

Her work pays special attention to ADHD and ADD, and how those issues affect focus, motivation, and confidence. She blends tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. The goal is to find strategies that actually work for each person’s life, not just textbook fixes.

Denise has about 10 years of clinical experience helping people who identify as LGBT, veterans and first responders, and neurodivergent clients. She also supports people facing burnout, caregiver stress, grief around separation, and challenges with impulse control and mood. She aims to help people build resilience and clearer direction.

In sessions she uses practical skill-building alongside talking through past patterns that still show up today. That can mean practicing new habits, learning emotional skills, and setting small goals that add up. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Denise works in English and holds an NV LCPC credential.

Therapeutic approaches and making online work for you

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and questions about life direction. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which is useful for impulse control, mood swings, and relationship tension.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which combination of ACT, DBT, psychodynamic reflection, or solution-focused work best fits the situation.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people try different ways of working while keeping sessions focused on building new habits and clearer thinking.
