Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Dianne integrates a selection of established therapeutic approaches to meet each client’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own experience and priorities, creating a supportive space where people set the pace and direction of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, stress and mood challenges. Narrative Therapy invites clients to examine the stories they tell about their lives, separating problems from identity and opening up new possibilities for meaning and action.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dianne works with clients to explore which methods suit their goals, preferences and circumstances, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so that therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Dianne is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without the need to travel, and they allow therapy to fit into busy or changing lives while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
