About Diane
Diane Stutts is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 34 years of experience who focuses on practical help for common life challenges. She centers sessions on clear goals, steady support, and tools people can use between meetings. Diane aims to make therapy straightforward and focused so clients can see progress in everyday life.
She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Diane also draws on humanistic principles to keep sessions warm and person-centered, and she incorporates rational-emotive techniques to challenge rigid beliefs that get in the way of living well.
Background and approach
These approaches are used to address relationship issues, low self-esteem, career decisions, and coping with life changes. Diane has long experience helping people with ADHD-related challenges, workplace stress, social anxiety, and communication problems. She supports those facing midlife transitions, questions about life purpose, or difficulties sparked by family of origin.
Her work also includes concerns common to young adults and older adults navigating change. Sessions focus on practical steps such as clearer communication skills, problem-solving strategies, and ways to rebuild confidence. Diane works collaboratively to set priorities and track progress so people feel the work matters between sessions.
She has worked with people from multiple continents and brings that broad perspective to treatment. Therapy is offered via several online formats to fit different schedules and needs. Diane practices in Missouri and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC.
Therapeutic approaches and online care options
Clients can expect a blend of cognitive-behavioral and humanistic work adapted for online sessions. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety, boost confidence, and improve problem solving. Humanistic methods emphasize listening, empathy, and helping a person clarify values and goals so they can make choices that feel right for them. Rational-emotive techniques challenge rigid beliefs that lead to distress and help replace them with more flexible, helpful ways of thinking.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss the options with each person, try methods that fit the goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. This collaborative process means goals and techniques are reviewed regularly and changed when needed.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to meet different needs. Video calls work well for more in-depth conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a person prefers not using video. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, focused exercises, or flexible contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
