About Diane

Diane Wells is a licensed professional counselor who helps with relationship and family concerns. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anxiety, addictions, and depression. Her tone in sessions is warm and interactive, with an emphasis on respect and listening.

Diane aims to tailor each plan to the person sitting across from her. Diane draws on a narrative approach, inviting people to tell the stories that shape their choices.

Background and approach

She blends that with evidence-based tools to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions focus on practical steps you can use between meetings. Her work uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot patterns and try different responses. Solution-Focused techniques help set small, achievable goals when change feels overwhelming. With ten years as a licensed professional counselor, Diane brings experience and a steady presence.

She adapts her pace to what each person needs and encourages collaboration on treatment direction. Many find this mix helpful when facing difficult life changes. Diane practices from Colorado and offers services in English.

She accepts international clients and provides flexible formats to fit varied schedules. The focus stays practical: listen, name what matters, and take manageable steps forward.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters most and take small, practical steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep problems going. Narrative Therapy invites people to tell their story and then look at how that story shapes choices and relationships; it can help with trauma, grief, and identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane uses a collaborative process to figure out what fits each person's needs and preferences. She will explain options, try techniques together, and adjust the plan as progress and concerns become clearer.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls let conversations feel face to face, while phone sessions can be simpler on the go. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, ongoing check-ins and flexibility between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit steady work on goals into daily life and maintain progress over time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
