About Diane
She helps individuals and couples talk through stress, anxiety, depression, and career or parenting strain. Diane also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving burdens, grief, and major life transitions. Her background includes work with military families and experience addressing adoption, attachment concerns, and autism-related challenges.
In sessions she uses straightforward, skills-focused methods to address communication, intimacy, and coping. Diane incorporates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice what matters and build steps toward it. She also uses attachment-based perspectives when relationship patterns are central.
Her sex therapy work covers low desire, orgasm difficulties, ejaculation concerns, and intimacy changes linked to chronic illness. Diane offers support for kink-affirming clients and for people exploring sexuality after loss or trauma. She also provides work related to codependency, boundaries, and commitment concerns.
Clients can expect a collaborative, problem-solving style that balances emotional exploration with concrete tools. Diane encourages practical homework and small experiments between sessions to test new ways of relating and coping.

How Diane's approaches can work online
Many of Diane's methods translate into online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with health changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and adds practical skill practice to reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and helps people change how they connect and respond to others, which is useful for intimacy and communication struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Diane aims to collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together the client and therapist try approaches, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time rather than committing to a single path from the start.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping momentum between appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to join from different locations, allow quieter check-ins when time is limited, and support ongoing skill practice without travel time.
