Diane Trosch, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Diane

Diane Trosch is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 28 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common stresses parents and adults face, including anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, and problems with addiction. Diane keeps conversations straightforward and practical, helping people identify what matters most and find steps they can try between sessions.

She uses clear, collaborative methods rather than lecturing. Sessions often center on understanding how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and on building small, doable skills for coping.

Background and approach

Mindfulness exercises and motivation-based conversations are used when they fit each person's situation. In practice Diane listens for the immediate problems and the patterns behind them. She pays attention to caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, codependency, and issues that commonly come up around midlife.

Her aim is to help clients feel less stuck and more able to make choices that match their values. People who work with her can expect a calm, respectful tone and an emphasis on practical tools. Diane blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness to tailor each plan.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change when people feel uncertain. Her office is based in Michigan, and she offers multiple session formats to fit busy schedules. New clients start by answering a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions based on availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy is about listening and meeting people where they are. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters, and helps clarify goals so work feels relevant and respectful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and to try different behaviors that can reduce anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Diane will discuss options and try methods that match a client's goals and preferences. If one way of working does not help, she adapts the plan and uses different tools until something fits better.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation without travel, while phone sessions can be simpler when schedules are tight. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or to express thoughts in writing. These formats help people stay consistent with care while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
