How Diane’s approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and coping with long-term health issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It can help with anxiety, mood struggles, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane will listen to your goals and try different strategies to see what fits. Together you’ll decide which tools and routines match your needs and daily life demands.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some approaches, like CBT and ACT, adapt well to remote sessions because they rely on conversations, behavioral experiments, and simple between-session practices. Ask about scheduling, session length, and any technical preferences when you set up your first appointment.
