Therapy Session in North Carolina

Greetings, I am here to help you on your journey. We will accomplish your goals together. I want therapy to be a safe place where you can express yourself and grow into who you were created to be. I have experience working with children, teens, and adults in individual and family therapy. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Structural and Strategic Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Gestalt Family Therapy, and more. I have worked with people experiencing anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD, PTSD, trauma, and Conduct Disorder. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey.

Diane is an empathetic, nonjudgmental mental health clinician with a Master’s in Psychology from Capella University, specializing in clinical counseling. She has extensive experience supporting children, teens, and young adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, bullying, and self-esteem challenges. Her approach centers on trust, safety, and helping clients build insight, coping skills, and long-term resilience.

I have been working in the counseling field since 2018 and bring a calm, supportive, and client-centered approach to every session. I am known for being friendly, empathetic, and an attentive listener, and I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, family-related issues, self-esteem challenges, and grief. My clinical background includes working with children, adolescents, and adults, with experience serving clients ages six and older. While I am comfortable working with younger children, I primarily work with adolescents and adults ages 12 and up. I tailor my counseling approach to meet each client’s unique needs, strengths, and goals, recognizing that no two individuals or situations are the same. I believe in collaborating with clients to help them develop insight, coping skills, and confidence as they work toward meaningful and lasting change. My goal as a counselor is to walk alongside clients as they navigate life’s challenges, offering guidance, understanding, and practical support while empowering them to grow at their own pace.

I am a compassionate mental health counselor and a proud graduate of Webster University. I am deeply committed to supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate life’s challenges. I view counseling as a collaborative process in which we work together to explore the concerns you bring to our sessions and move toward meaningful change. My approach centers on helping you recognize your strengths, build self‑awareness, and develop tools that support your well‑being. For counseling to be effective, both of us play an active role in setting goals and evaluating progress. One of our first steps will be to identify what you hope to achieve through counseling. From there, we will create a plan that outlines your goals, the methods we may use, the potential benefits and risks, the time commitment involved, and any other factors relevant to your unique situation. Before moving forward, we will agree on a plan that feels right for you. Throughout our work together, we will periodically review your progress and adjust your goals or approach as needed to ensure the counseling process continues to support your growth.

I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist with a strong commitment to supporting children and adults as they navigate life’s challenges. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Elizabeth City State University and my Master of Social Work from Walden University, where I developed a solid foundation in evidence-based and culturally responsive practice. I have experience working with diverse populations across the lifespan and am deeply passionate about helping individuals build insight, resilience, and effective coping skills. My areas of focus include, but are not limited to, anxiety, depression, anger management, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, and life stressors. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. My goal as a therapist is to partner with clients in identifying their strengths, developing practical strategies, and fostering emotional growth that leads to lasting positive change. I believe healing is a collaborative process, and I am committed to walking alongside my clients as they work toward improved well-being, confidence, and a more balanced life.

I am a mental health therapist who graduated from NYU with a master's in clinical social work. My objective as a therapist is to provide a safe space to promote healing, empowerment and growth so that my clients can achieve their goaIs. I believe in approaching my work with empathy and compassion to build a strong relationship with my clients, so they feel comfortable to explore their past, present and future. I have experience working with clients of all ages, from infancy to adulthood. I conduct individual, family and parent sessions. I pride myself on being a therapist who meets my clients where they are. I work with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, social skills deficits, trauma, life changes and those who desire parenting skills.
