How Diane's Approaches Shape Online Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current bonds and emotions. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and reduce reactivity when they feel triggered.Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's experience in the moment. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what is said, and follows the client's pace to build trust and clarity.
Existential Therapy invites questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. It can be useful when someone faces a midlife crisis, doubts about life direction, or deep questions about purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That process usually begins in early sessions and can shift as goals change.

It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or let someone choose meetings that match their daily routine. Many people find this flexibility helps them stay consistent with therapy while managing other responsibilities.
