About Diane
Diane Hendricks, LCSW, LSCSW, has 15 years of clinical experience and is licensed as an LCSW in Missouri and an LSCSW in Kansas. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, ADHD, and related life changes. Diane also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and identity-related challenges.
Diane trained at the University of Kansas with a Master’s degree in social work. Much of her career has been in psychiatric settings, including hospice care, senior counseling, and services for veterans and first responders. She has experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and with people navigating attachment, abandonment, and blended family dynamics.
Her counseling style is client-centered. She focuses on listening first and working at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions emphasize practical skills and reflections rather than long lectures.
Diane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based approaches. She blends these methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different responses, and practice new behaviors between sessions.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about current problems and small, behavior-focused steps to try between meetings. Diane aims for clear, doable goals and checks in on progress so plans can be adjusted as needed.
How Diane uses structured approaches in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and decide which problems to tackle first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior patterns by teaching concrete skills to try between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to emotional responses and attachment needs. It is used when relationship patterns or strong emotional reactions are a central concern.
Figuring out which approach to use is a collaborative process. Diane will talk with the person about goals, try practical techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Expectations and small steps are revisited so the work stays relevant.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments into a busy week and reducing travel time. Some clients find phone or video sessions easier for quick check-ins or when they need a shorter appointment during a lunch break. Confirm the current session formats before booking to know what options are offered and to pick times that fit an everyday routine.
