About Diane

Diane Haskill is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and parenting concerns. She greets clients with a calm, practical approach and focuses on clear steps to move forward.

Diane has worked in social work for 25 years. She commonly meets people when life feels overwhelming and begins by listening to what matters most.

Background and approach

From there she helps identify specific problems and builds a plan with manageable next steps. Her work draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the person’s experience. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify habits and thoughts that keep problems stuck and introduces new ways of responding.

Sessions aim to be practical and solution-focused. Diane offers support for relationship stresses, family problems, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and substance concerns. She also addresses issues like anger, sleep troubles, and career stress.

Diane practices in Florida and holds the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She offers talk-based care that includes discussion, problem solving, and skills practice to help people try different approaches between sessions.

How Diane’s approaches translate to online care

Diane works from client-centered principles that begin by hearing the person’s experience. This approach focuses on building trust, reflecting what the client shares, and shaping goals together. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through parenting stress, grief, or tough life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT breaks larger problems into small, practical steps so clients can try new responses between sessions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep troubles, and habits tied to substance use.

Deciding which approach to use is a team process. Diane will help identify what feels most useful based on the client’s goals, concerns, and preferences. Together they pick strategies that fit the person’s life and adjust them over time.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and caregiving parents. These formats let people meet from home, fit sessions around family routines, and use shorter check-ins or longer meetings depending on need. Licensed professionals can adapt both client-centered work and CBT to these remote formats to focus on problem solving and practical skills.

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.
