About Diane Bahr

Diane Bahr found her way to therapy through personal experience with loss, family change, and long-standing feelings of depression and anger. As a teenager she faced her parents' divorce and relocation, and she spent years hiding her emotions behind work and school rather than asking for help. She went on to complete college and build a career, yet the sense of being unwhole persisted until her life was upended by the sudden death of her husband in her early 30s. That moment became the turning point that led her to seek counseling and to confront painful patterns she had long avoided.

Through consistent therapy she learned to identify the thinking habits that held her back and to replace them with more realistic, motivating messages. That personal journey sparked a professional calling to support others navigating grief, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, midlife transitions, and other life changes. She works collaboratively to uncover how a person may be limiting themselves, to set achievable goals, and to create practical steps toward change. Her style balances honest exploration with moments of lightness and warmth.

Diane holds the credentials MD and LCPC - MD meaning Doctor of Medicine and LCPC indicating a licensed professional counselor - and brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work helping adults move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Diane Bahr integrates client centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy along with motivational interviewing to support people through change. Client centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where the individual’s own goals and values guide the work - it is useful for processing grief, relationship concerns, and self esteem issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical strategies to shift those thoughts and the behaviors that follow - it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, strengths based method that helps people clarify their own motivations and build readiness for change, which can be helpful for addictions, career transitions, and commitment related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Diane collaborates with each person to choose and adapt methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences so therapy remains practical and personally meaningful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text based messaging, giving flexibility to arrange care around work, family, and other responsibilities. These options make therapy more accessible for people with busy schedules or limited local options, while still allowing therapists and licensed professionals to work together with clients toward concrete goals.
