Denise Schwartz, LCPC

Denise Schwartz is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Nevada. She helps people when stress, anxiety, identity questions, or ADHD make daily life harder. Denise writes short-term, practical goals with each person and focuses on what will change their day-to-day life.

She also supports LGBTQ individuals and people sorting through gender identity and life purpose. Conversations with her are straightforward and aimed at finding tools that actually fit the client’s routine. Her approach combines elements of dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and psychodynamic ideas. That mix is used to help with emotion regulation, values-based choices, and understanding recurring relationship patterns. Sessions can include skill practice, problem solving, and reflection on past experiences. She has ten years of counseling experience including work with veterans, first responders, and people who are neurodivergent. Denise often helps people cope with grief, guilt, and burnout. She pays attention to how caregiving and life transitions shape stress. People who choose Denise can expect an affirming, low-judgment atmosphere and a focus on realistic next steps. If you want help sorting out communication problems, mood shifts, or finding clearer direction, she aims to make progress that fits your life.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and finding clearer direction in life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication - useful for intense mood shifts and relationship conflicts. Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and past influences to understand why certain problems keep returning and to create longer-term change. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Denise will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That discussion can shift over time if something isn’t helping. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing care during life transitions and for people juggling work, caregiving, or irregular hours. Ask about the available session options when you set up your first appointment to make sure they match your needs.
