About Diane
Diane Hendricks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, credentialed as LCSW and LSCSW, with 15 years of clinical experience. She is based in Kansas and works with adults on concerns like stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, parenting strain, relationship issues, and addiction. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.
Diane spent much of her career in psychiatric settings. That includes senior counseling, hospice work, and support for veterans and first responders. She has also worked with people from the LGBT community. Those roles shaped a practical, person-focused way of working.
Her main approach is client-centered therapy. She focuses on listening, following the person's lead, and working at a comfortable pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, existential thinking, and mindfulness tools when they fit the person's goals.
In sessions she keeps language direct and simple. Conversations can cover coping skills for anxiety, ways to handle parenting stress, or processing grief and trauma. She aims to be nonjudgmental and to use occasional lightness when appropriate.
Diane asks people to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How Diane’s approaches translate to online sessions
Diane uses client-centered therapy to keep the work grounded in what the person says matters most. That approach focuses on listening, understanding the individual's priorities, and moving at a pace that feels manageable. It helps when someone needs space to talk through parenting stress, grief, or ongoing anxiety.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT offers practical skills for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another tool she brings in to help identify and name strong emotions and to practice new ways of responding when relationships or attachment issues are a concern.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That conversation happens early on and adjusts as needed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, allow a quick check-in during a break, or let someone choose whether to be on camera. Practical choices like these are discussed when setting up the first session.
