Approaches that guide online sessions
Diane draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small actions that align with those values to reduce stuck patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering nonjudgmental listening and reflection to help them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking and behavior patterns, teaching practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and build different habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Diane will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which techniques to try. This collaborative process helps match methods to real-life needs instead of applying a single formula.
Confirm available session options before booking, as formats are set through the service. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible check-ins between other responsibilities. Diane aims to create sessions that fit into daily life and help people make steady, practical progress.
