She focuses on grief work, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse while working with diverse populations, including older adults and members of the LGBT community. Her approach draws on cognitive perspectives that help clients identify patterns of thought and develop realistic strategies for change.

Therapy is tailored to each person’s needs and goals. Diane believes people can learn, grow, and change, and she commits to supporting clients through the courage it takes to begin or return to therapy. Her practice centers on collaborative solution building and individualized care designed to meet each client where they are.

Practical Therapy Approaches and Online Access

Diane commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced ways of thinking. CBT is focused and skills-based, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Solution-Focused Therapy is another approach she uses, concentrating on clients' strengths and practical steps to build solutions rather than dwelling on problems. This method is helpful for setting concrete goals and making measurable progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Diane works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors techniques that fit their situation. Together they evaluate what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Diane is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic distance within the therapist's service area. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, try different formats, and receive consistent support while balancing other life commitments.
