About Diane
Diane Henning is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 15 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, and codependency. Diane also supports people coping with grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and sexual identity concerns within the LGBT community.
She uses straightforward, person-centered care that focuses on what matters most to the client. Sessions often involve listening closely, clarifying patterns that keep someone stuck, and practicing concrete skills to respond differently. Diane draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness and acceptance approaches to help people tolerate hard feelings without acting on them automatically.
Clients who come to her for relationship or codependency concerns can expect practical work on boundaries, communication, and recognizing their own needs. For those facing trauma or addiction-related issues she combines emotion-regulation strategies with motivational interviewing techniques to support changes clients want to make.
Diane frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving rather than a lecture. She helps people set small, doable goals and checks progress session by session. Her background and methods aim to help clients regain a sense of agency and clearer priorities so they can take steps that fit their life.
She offers sessions in English and practices in Illinois as an LCPC. People considering therapy are encouraged to review approach and session options before booking a first appointment.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and guide action toward meaningful values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing specific skills to change how someone reacts to stress and low mood. Mindfulness-based work teaches attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and build tolerance for difficult emotions.Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the early work in therapy. Diane will help clients explore what feels useful and adjust techniques as goals and circumstances change. The approach is collaborative - goals and tools are reviewed together as progress is tracked.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting conversations into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, keep regular weekly sessions, or continue care during life changes while keeping therapy aligned with everyday responsibilities.
