About Diane
Diane Chapin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of clinical experience in Michigan. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, and relationship difficulties.

She offers a calm presence and straightforward support for people looking for practical help. Diane learned specific skills in EMDR, a therapy often used for trauma and painful memories, and in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches emotion regulation and coping skills.
Background and approach
In sessions she creates an open, nonjudgmental space so clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Her style is direct and warm, with an emphasis on teaching tools people can use between meetings. She brings life experience from many years of partnership and community work, including time supporting military families and serving alongside her spouse in pastoral roles.
Outside of practice she enjoys reading and walking in the woods. Diane aims to make the first steps into therapy feel doable and respectful. People who value clear guidance and practical strategies may find her approach helpful.
She works by listening carefully, identifying priorities, and teaching skills to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions are offered in English and take place online in formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Diane is licensed in Michigan as an LPC, with license number MI LPC 6401010412.
Therapeutic techniques and online care that fit your life
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused technique Diane has trained in. It helps people process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming and disruptive to daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving communication in relationships.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Diane will listen to your goals, review your history, and recommend techniques that match your needs and preferences. You can try different methods and adjust the plan together as progress is made.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules. These formats allow for flexible timing, continued contact between meetings, and access from home or another suitable space. Many people find the variety of options helps them stay connected to care when life gets hectic.
