About Diane

Diane Craft is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical therapy to help adults facing life stress and change. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Diane works from a problem-solving place and aims to keep sessions straightforward and useful.

Diane has 25 years of experience in counseling across inpatient, outpatient, and independent practice settings in Colorado. She also has a background in teaching and supervising clinicians who are training for licensure.

Background and approach

Her work has included disaster response through national mental health teams after large-scale events. Her approach is positive and interactive. Diane listens carefully, avoids labels, and uses cognitive tools to address unhelpful thinking.

She also uses solution-focused methods to set clear goals and build practical steps that fit day-to-day life. In sessions she focuses on what matters to the client and adapts the plan to each person’s needs. Diane brings experience with substance-related concerns and with supporting LGBT individuals, while keeping the focus on the specific challenges presented in therapy.

Starting therapy can feel hard, and Diane aims to make the first steps simpler and more manageable. She encourages clients to set achievable goals and practices strategies they can use between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and practical support

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that follow. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress by teaching tools you can use between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, concrete steps that move you toward clear goals. It helps when you want short-term, goal-oriented work to solve specific problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. From there she adapts methods and checks in frequently to make sure the plan fits the client’s needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work while traveling, or choose a format that feels comfortable. The variety of formats supports regular contact and ongoing progress while accommodating different communication styles and daily demands.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
