About Diane

Diane Curry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She uses a straightforward, compassionate style to help people facing relationship and family challenges. Diane listens closely and asks pointed questions to help clients clarify what they want to change.

She focuses on practical steps that can improve daily life. That includes work on communication, parenting, stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and self-esteem. Diane also addresses intimacy concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress.

Background and approach

Her approach blends client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods. She helps clients notice patterns of thinking and then tries different ways of responding. Motivational interviewing is used when change feels difficult or stalled.

Sessions center on clear goals and doable actions. Diane encourages honest self-reflection while keeping the work grounded in real-life choices. She aims for clients to leave sessions with a sense of direction and tools they can use right away.

Diane practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. She supports people dealing with divorce and separation, communication problems, control and impulsivity issues, and feelings of isolation. Her style is direct but kind, with an emphasis on results that matter to each person.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and understanding each person's perspective. Diane uses this approach to make clients feel heard and to shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels and copes. It is often used for anxiety, stress, mood, and relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane works with clients to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Clients can use video calls when more face-to-face contact helps, switch to phone sessions for convenience, or use live chat and text-based messaging for brief check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit work on relationships, parenting, or life transitions into busy schedules and daily routines.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
