About Diane
Diane Wells is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Colorado with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anxiety, addictions, and depression. Diane also focuses on issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, women's issues, and challenges young adults face.
Her approach is straightforward and interactive. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with narrative and solution-focused methods to help people notice thought patterns and try different responses. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clear strategies rather than vague advice.
Diane invites clients to tell their stories and to examine how those stories shape daily choices. She draws on client-centered principles to ensure conversations are led by the person's priorities. Small changes in thinking and behavior are used to reduce stress and improve relationships.
She often combines short-term goal work with deeper narrative reflections when needed. That might mean practicing new communication skills in one session, then looking at long-standing patterns in the next. The plan adjusts as progress is observed and goals evolve.
Diane accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Because session formats are not listed here, prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Diane integrates CBT and narrative work online
Diane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and routines that keep problems going, and to test small, concrete behavior changes that reduce stress or conflict. She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can make room for different choices and roles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process guides whether sessions focus more on skills practice, story work, or short-term solutions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time for an appointment. Therapists offering remote work often use video for face-to-face interaction or phone for lower bandwidth and simpler check-ins; clarify which formats are offered when you schedule. The focus remains on practical, structured steps you can use between meetings rather than vague discussion.
