How Diane's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Diane uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that are easy to use in online settings. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that move a person toward those values; it helps when life feels stuck or overwhelming. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy complements these by teaching simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions begin with clear priorities and a plan so techniques are chosen to match what the client wants to change or achieve.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, or choose a quieter time for reflection. Online work also supports steady practice of skills like mindfulness and behavioral experiments between meetings, helping clients build progress into daily life.
