Background and approach
She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to look at how feelings show up in relationships. Mindfulness practices are brought in when slowing down and noticing the body helps with worry or mood. Solution-focused steps are used to set short-term goals and build momentum.
Diane’s background includes a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Regis University and more than two decades teaching behavioral and social sciences at the college level. Her teaching covered topics such as positive psychology, personality theories, and human development. People come to Diane for help with a wide range of concerns.
These include intimacy and relationship issues, parenting challenges, body image and eating concerns, obsessive thoughts, mood disorders, postpartum depression, and adjustment during major life transitions. She aims to create a calm setting where practical change feels possible.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Diane commonly blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy for online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical steps to reduce worry, improve sleep, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Diane will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. She collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their situation and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers no camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or maintaining momentum between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and varied needs.
