About Diane

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Oregon with six years of clinical experience, Diane Smith focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. She works with people who want clearer thinking, steadier mood, or better handling of workplace pressures. Sessions use Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide practical changes.

Diane adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She aims for straightforward sessions that help clients name problems and try concrete steps. That can mean practicing new ways of talking, testing different reactions, or breaking big worries into smaller tasks.

Her experience includes helping with communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, self-love, and aspects of autism and Asperger syndrome that affect daily life. She also supports people coping with career stress and workplace issues, using tools that relate to the problem at hand.

Diane emphasizes collaboration. She listens to how clients describe things and then uses Client-Centered approaches to reflect and clarify. When helpful, she uses CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.

Sessions are offered in English. Diane is licensed in Oregon and holds the LPC and LCPC credentials. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s appointment flow.

How Diane applies Client-Centered and CBT online

Client-Centered Therapy here means listening closely to how a person describes their situation and reflecting that back so goals become clearer. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort feelings or make decisions about relationships and self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, workplace problems, and building confidence through stepwise practice.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Diane will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those goals. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts strategies over time based on what helps.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows people to schedule sessions around work breaks or at times that suit their routine, while the therapist and client decide together how to structure each meeting.
