About Diane
Diane Hendricks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and a wide range of life changes.

Background and approach
Diane mixes techniques from cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, and emotionally-focused methods to match what each person needs. Her background includes work in psychiatric settings, senior counseling, hospice, and support for Veterans and first responders. She has also provided counseling for people in the LGBTQ community.
Those experiences shape a down-to-earth style that values understanding over labels. Diane describes herself as nonjudgmental, compassionate, and easy to talk with. She listens for what matters most and helps people set small, achievable goals.
She also believes that moments of humor can be part of healing when they feel right. Practical concerns are part of her work. Diane helps people manage addictive behaviors, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, career stress, and caregiving burden.
She also offers support for chronic illness, attachment and abandonment worries, and coping after disasters. People can expect a calm, steady presence and a collaborative plan. Diane encourages questions and adapts techniques to fit each person’s pace and priorities.
How Diane’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual’s experience and values. Diane listens closely and helps people name what matters to them, then builds goals that match their priorities. This approach helps with anxiety, grief, identity questions, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Diane uses simple CBT tools to test unhelpful thinking, try small behavior experiments, and track progress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in emotional reactions and connection. It helps people notice core feelings, understand relational patterns, and practice new ways of responding in close relationships or personal struggles.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Diane will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as they go. The process is paced to feel manageable and respectful of individual comfort.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when that helps, phone can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days and allow for consistent contact without travel.
