About Diane

She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. Diane aims to make therapy clear and practical so people can take steps that improve daily life.

Background and approach
Sessions include active listening, direct feedback, and collaborative problem solving. Diane draws from several therapy styles to suit the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods to build a trusting space.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are offered for reshaping thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She also applies emotionally-focused and relationship-oriented tools when intimacy or partnership issues are a concern.
The Gottman Method informs work on communication and conflict management. Diane pays attention to attachment, adoption and foster care histories when they affect current relationships. Parents and individuals facing grief, parenting challenges, hoarding, codependency, or life transitions can find focused support.
Diane combines coaching elements with therapy to help people set goals and practice new habits. Her style is straightforward, respectful, and centered on helping people make choices that lead to a better quality of life.
How Diane’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s own goals guide the work. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, understanding space to sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include tracking patterns, practicing new skills between meetings, and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. In remote sessions Diane can coach on distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and communication strategies that are useful in day-to-day situations.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Diane will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into busy lives.
