With six years of clinical experience, Diane shapes sessions around each person's needs. She uses clear conversation to identify what matters most and to set realistic steps forward.
Background and approach
Clients can expect practical tools alongside time to talk things through. Diane draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and build a trusting working relationship. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when needed to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
These approaches are used to address issues like communication problems, control struggles, and self-love work. She has particular familiarity with concerns related to autism and Asperger Syndrome and brings that understanding into planning interventions. Workplace issues, forgiveness, and improving motivation are other areas she supports through goal-focused sessions.
Diane is licensed to practice in Oregon and Idaho and offers sessions in English. She aims to make the first steps straightforward: a short matching questionnaire, scheduling, and then meeting to set goals together.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs. It emphasizes the client’s goals, and the therapist follows the client’s lead to build understanding and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Diane works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She will discuss options and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can support shorter updates or ongoing check-ins between longer sessions. These options help people access consistent care while balancing work, family, and daily life.
