Diane Hendricks

Diane Hendricks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and related concerns. She approaches each person as an individual and focuses on meeting them where they are. Diane is known for a calm, nonjudgmental style and an easy, conversational manner that can make hard topics feel more manageable.

Her work begins by listening to what matters most to the client. She follows a client-centered approach and guides conversations at a pace that feels right for the person in the room. Diane aims to build trust and make space for both serious work and small moments of relief, including appropriate humor when it fits.

Diane has a background in psychiatric settings and has supported people in senior counseling, hospice care, Veterans services, and first responder programs. She has also worked with the LGBT community. This experience informs how she responds to trauma, grief, and long-term stress.

Her approach draws on several methods to match the person and the problem. Diane uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns, emotionally focused ideas to clarify feelings in relationships, and mindfulness practices to ease overwhelming states. She tailors these tools to each person instead of applying a single method.

If someone is unsure where to start, Diane encourages a first conversation about what feels most pressing. She helps people set clear goals and takes steps that fit their daily life and values.

Approaches used in online therapy and how they help

Diane often draws from client-centered work that focuses on the person’s priorities and pace. This approach means sessions begin with listening and shaping goals together, which helps when anger or stress feel overwhelming.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT methods can be useful for problems like anxiety, mood shifts, and some anger responses because they offer clear exercises to practice between sessions.

Emotionally-focused ideas are used to clarify and name strong feelings, particularly when relationship or intimacy issues are involved. These strategies help people recognize patterns and respond differently in close interactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Diane treats the choice of method as collaborative and will adjust techniques to match a client's goals, values, and comfort level. She aims to help people try a method and see whether it fits, rather than pushing one style from the start.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow a quieter check-in during a break, or make sessions shorter when that helps someone maintain consistency. Licensed professionals can use these conveniences to help clients practice skills in their everyday routines.
