About Diane
Diane Hendricks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with LCSW and LSCSW credentials and 15 years of experience. She practices in Kansas and works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and codependency concerns, among other issues.
Diane trained with a Master of Social Work from the University of Kansas and has spent much of her career in psychiatric settings. Her background includes senior counseling, hospice work, and support for veterans and first responders. She has experience working with LGBTQ+ people and a broad range of life circumstances.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses a client-centered style and brings methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness into sessions. That means sessions often focus on practical strategies, noticing emotions, and trying small changes between meetings.
Diane says she listens without judgment and values direct, down-to-earth conversation. She aims to keep things straightforward and may use humor when it helps. Sessions typically move at a pace chosen by the client rather than rushing through goals.
People come to her for help with relationships, coping with change, addictions, chronic illness, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and attachment. She pays attention to how life events, caregiving roles, and work stress affect day-to-day functioning.
If someone wants to get started they follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Diane focuses on the person’s current concerns and practical steps they can take between sessions.
How sessions work
How Diane integrates proven approaches into online work
Diane draws on client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s concerns and pace. This approach emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the client, and it helps when someone feels uncertain about next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers concrete skills for managing anxiety, shifting unhelpful thinking, and testing new ways of coping between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another tool she uses to identify and name difficult emotions and to practice expressing needs more clearly in relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Diane treats the selection of methods as a collaboration and will check in about what feels useful. Together they look at goals, what has helped before, and what the person wants to try next.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, reducing travel time, and making it easier to check in during a break at work or between caregiving tasks. Online work can also make short follow-ups or skill check-ins more practical while keeping the focus on real-life changes.
