It's a different meaning. "Pensar en" it's like "think about" and "Pensar" it's like "intend to" Pensar en cantar = Think about singing. Pensar cantar = Tener intención de cantar. "Pienso ir con ella" = Tengo intención de ir con ella "Pienso en ella" = Solamente estoy pensando cosas sobre ella.

Gramatically it's just that way: "to think of/about" in English and "pensar en" in Spanish. You wouldn't say "I think her" in English, nor in Spanish! :)
