Background and approach

Diane draws on five years of clinical experience working with adults facing major life transitions. She supports people dealing with postpartum depression, midlife changes, and the emotional fallout from sexual assault or other traumatic events. She also helps those facing health-related challenges, including cancer and hospice or end-of-life concerns.

Family of origin issues, attachment struggles, and codependency are common themes she addresses in therapy. Diane assists people coping with seasonal affective disorder, guilt, shame, and the emptiness that can follow loss. Her work includes support for those recovering from natural or human-caused disasters and managing post-traumatic stress.

Diane offers sessions in English and holds an LPC license in Texas. She provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a short online questionnaire helps match clients and schedule an initial appointment.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on understanding how current thoughts and behaviors affect daily life. Cognitive-focused approaches help people identify stressful thought patterns and practice different ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression. Exposure-based methods gradually and safely help people face avoided situations tied to trauma or intense fear so reactions lessen over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide together which techniques to try. Clients and therapist adjust the plan as progress is made so the approach fits each person’s needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
