More about Diane
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LSCSW
I am a clinical social worker in the state of Kansas practicing for the last 9 years. In my practice, I specialize in treating anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I also have experience treating people with mood disorders, struggling with life transitions, relationship issues and people in the LGBTQIA+ community.
My goal is to help you find long term solutions that help you feel more confident, empowered and connected to yourself and others.
There are effective, well researched treatment options available. I use evidence based treatments such as CBT, ACT, ERP, CPT, and PE whenever clinically appropriate. I strive to create safe, warm, collaborative working relationships with each person I serve in order to make these treatments as accessible as possible.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
