How Diane works
Diane blends practical techniques with attention to feelings and meaning, so clients learn skills and also make sense of their experiences. Her background includes work in psychiatric settings, hospice care, senior counseling, and support for veterans and first responders. She has also worked with members of the LGBT community.
That variety informs her ability to respond to complex issues like grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and trauma-related difficulties. In sessions she aims to be warm, down-to-earth, and nonjudgmental. Diane prioritizes clear conversation and uses humor when it helps to ease tension.
She invites people to speak about what matters most to them and to set the pace for change. Therapy blends talk, practical problem solving, and mindfulness-based strategies. Diane draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused ideas, existential questions, and motivational techniques as needed.

How Diane’s Approaches Work Online
Diane uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's experience and goals. This approach means sessions start with listening and then move at the client’s pace to set priorities and decisions that feel right.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT provides concrete techniques for managing anxiety, depression, and stress through small, doable changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Diane is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be used when lower bandwidth or quicker scheduling is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins and continuing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep making progress without extra travel.
