About Diane
Diane Henning is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She aims to offer a calm, affirming space where people can talk through painful experiences and build coping skills.

Her approach blends practical tools with a person-centered attitude. Diane uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help clients notice patterns and try new responses.
How Diane works
She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to support emotional regulation and values-based change. Diane pays attention to everyday problems like communication troubles, codependency, and commitment issues. She also helps with more specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, and caregiving stress.
This makes her practice a place for both immediate coping and longer-term growth. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps. Diane works collaboratively to set goals, teach skills, and practice them in ways that fit each person’s life.
She listens for strengths and builds on them, while also addressing setbacks and relapses with practical strategies. Based in Illinois, Diane holds an IL LCPC credential. She conducts sessions in English and offers a range of online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small action steps toward those values. It supports coping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching acceptance and committed behavior change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing new ways of responding. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing symptoms day to day. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional awareness, which can help with stress, trauma responses, and chronic worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines approaches as needed and checks in about what is helping or what should change so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions offer flexibility and convenience through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people see and interact face to face, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same therapeutic tools as in-person care.
