About Diane
Diane Craft is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Colorado with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults 18 and older, including seniors, and focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, substance-related concerns, relationships, self-esteem, anger, LGBT issues, and coping with life changes.
She has worked across inpatient, outpatient, and private practice settings. Her background includes teaching and supervising clinicians pursuing licensure. She also served as a First Responder at the World Trade Center incident and was part of the National Mental Health Disaster Team with the Red Cross.
Diane uses a practical, problem-solving approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions emphasize noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. She describes her style as interactive and focuses on concrete steps clients can try between meetings.
She avoids labels and aims to help people break stressful patterns and build clearer ways of coping. Diane has specific experience supporting older adults and members of the LGBT community among the adults she sees. Her work also covers grief processing and substance-related concerns alongside mood and anxiety issues.
Clients can expect straightforward discussion about goals and progress. Diane’s experience supervising others informs how she explains concepts and sets practical homework. Before a first session she asks about main concerns and what a client wants to change.
How Diane uses CBT and solution-focused work online
Diane draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions focus on specific thoughts and behaviors and include practical exercises to try between appointments.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which narrows in on small, achievable changes and clear goals. That approach is useful for people who want brief, action-oriented work to move past a current problem.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Diane will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit the concern, and adjust the plan based on what works. The therapist uses client feedback to decide whether to keep a CBT emphasis, shift more toward solution-focused techniques, or combine elements of both.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make scheduling simpler and help sessions fit into a busy day. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and make it easier to continue care when routines change. Licensed professionals like Diane aim to match approach and format to a client's needs and daily life rather than promising a specific outcome.
