Background and approach
She listens for each person's priorities and uses that information to shape what comes next. Diane draws on several methods to match the need at hand. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
She applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and mindfulness skills when feelings feel intense. She also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused techniques to highlight strengths and set short-term goals. These approaches aim to make small changes that add up over time.
Diane combines tools so people leave sessions with something to try between meetings. Across eight years of practice she has worked in outpatient, residential, faith-based, and independent practice settings. That variety informs how she adapts strategies to different routines and stressors.
The tone in her work stays compassionate and goal-oriented to help people move forward.
Approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, accepting relationship so people can find their own solutions; it is helpful when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which suits anxiety, depression, and mood concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Decisions about methods are collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets you use visual cues and more natural conversation, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging provide shorter check-ins and allow reflection over time. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit into work, school, or family routines.
