About Diane
Diane Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Oregon with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered methods to help people notice thought patterns and try different responses. That looks like identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and checking what works. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused.
Diane also pays attention to communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, and building self-love. She often frames work around everyday situations such as workplace stress or relationship friction. The approach is practical and aimed at giving concrete tools to use between sessions.
Her background includes six years of professional practice across Idaho and Oregon. The LPC and LCPC are shown up front and used when arranging care and records. Diane asks people to describe what they want to change and then prioritizes steps that fit their daily life.
For new clients the first steps are simple: answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. Payment is handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, so ongoing scheduling and costs can be adjusted as needed.
How CBT and Client-Centered Work Translate to Online Sessions
CBT is about noticing patterns of thinking and testing changes in behavior. Online sessions can focus on short exercises, thought records, and clear homework that fit into a busy week. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person feels heard while deciding goals and next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first based on their goals and preferences, and then adjust as progress is tracked. That collaborative process helps keep sessions practical and goal-oriented.
The therapist's specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a schedule, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practice skills between sessions in real life and then discuss results in the next meeting.
