Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Care
Diane uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them and to build willingness to face difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that align with their values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, panic, and mood challenges. Client-centered therapy provides a supportive, empathic space where the client’s own goals and insights drive the work and healing.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane will work with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time as goals evolve.
Online therapy with Diane is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access support from home. These options provide flexibility so clients and licensed professionals can focus on meaningful progress together.
